Summary: folding should ignore # directives

Initial Comment:
I was excited to hear and see the folding 
functionality of jEdit (13 years after I saw such 
feature for the first and last time in GFA-Basic 
editor) and decided to give it a try for my C source 
code editing.

I, for one, use lots of C preprocessor directives 
(#if, #endif, #define) within functions, structure 
declarations, etc. For example:


struct Srectangle {
#if 1
    int x, y, w, h;
#else
    int x1, y1, x2, y2;
#endif
};


static void fce(void)
{
#ifdef  __FUNC__func__
        __FUNC__func__
#undef  __FUNC__
#define __FUNC__ __func__
#endif

#if WIN

    code;

#elif UNIX

    code;
#if 1
    code;
#endif

#endif
}


I'm dissapointed to find that jEdit folds according to 
the indentation level only, so I cannot fold neither 
the above structure nor function.

While C allows the directives to be indented as well 
as other code, this is not a common practise (probably 
because it makes the code less readable).

I guess it would be sufficient (for C/C++ edit-mode) 
to have an option that would make the folding to 
ignore all lines beginning with number sign (#) as 
their first nonwhite-space character.

Does that make sense ?

This is a feature request.  You should submit this directly 
to the users' mailing list.  Copies of bug reports go to 
the developers' mailing list, so you don't need to resubmit.

I've realized it would be far more better to make the 
folding edit-mode sensitive and support also folding of C 
preprocessor directives (e.g. #if ... #endif blocks), but
I guess it would be much more complicated.

Also, the lines inbetween #if, #else and #endif directives 
in the examples above should have been indented of course 
(I didn't know the bug tracker removes the leading spaces --
WTF?!).
