So the problem is being able to drill down? Most decent IDEs allow you to collapse code blocks (i.e brackets) if that's what you want to do, and the comments accomplish the same thing a function name would. Some editors support region comments that start out collapsed and can be named. I don't see why separate functions would be anyones first instinct to reach for here.


I don't see why anyone's first instinct to reach for would be relying on some editor's ability to optionally collapse code blocks.

What happens if someone wants to use a different editor that doesn't have that feature or doesn't display it quite right anymore?

Lol.
