Actually, I have found similar markers to be useful everywhere.  I don't
like the way my editor tries to fold Python code, so I started inserting
folding markers myself:

     # foo {{{
     if foo:
     
         bar
	 
     else:

         baz

	 # snafu {{{
         if snafu:
             cookie
         # }}}

         quux

     # }}}

If the bar, baz, and quux blocks are large enough logical units, I will
fold them as well.

What I found is that the makers become an incredibly useful form of
organzational tool.
