Me too, I like the way folding works right now, folding pretty much
everything. That way I only unfold the part of code that I'm currently
interested in. Though sometimes I do make use of zR to get the bigger
picture... :)

I guess, if you make it configurable, it would be ok, so that we can 
switch ON the 'full folding' mode if we wanted to...
