Not sure that I completely agree here, at least with the "nature of
the language" part. Obviously you don't want to mess with the script
itselfe, but for long handlers (come on, we've all got them) it's
often hard to find the matching "end if" statement for an "if",
especially if they're nested three or four levels deep. Folding is a
way to indicate that, but there are other visual indicators that work
as well: option-click or something on the start of a conditional to
highlight the end statement, etc.
