Using regular expressions even to define the collapsible boundaries 
would be extremely flexible I think.

And these beginning/ending expressions should probable be configurable 
per file type.

IE: for *.php files:
begin:  ^function.*\(.*)\{
end:    ^}

Of course, this example expression isn't near perfect (too strict), but 
it illustrates the idea I hope.
