Working toward a new back end design to support folding--questions

[Bert Wesarg]

>From my knowledge of that code, your analysis of the styleBuffer is
right.  But I don't think this is the right approach for folding, ie.
a misuse of the styleBuffer.  I think the styleBuffer come into play,
after NEdit decided what to draw.  But folding must hook into this
decision process, and not after.  And for your second thought I think
this would be a optimization at most. You must keep the folding
information somewhere (ie. at least start/end, and this information
can't be stored inside the styleBuffer), and this datastructure should
also allow to query for folded/unfolded text.
