People are more likely to have a look at (and maybe review)
your patch (set) when you post it here, on the mailing list.
At least I do not look at foreign repositories.

However, before trying an implementation, I would have liked
to see a discussion of how this "code folding"/"line folding"
should work.  Personally I've never used such folding, but I
can imagine that it could be useful to some people.  But...
how exactly should it work in nano?  Since the request was
made [1], I've reserved the M-[ keystroke for line folding.
But what should that keystroke do in which situations?
