Folding block of code

Folding block of code and giving it a title is very useful in the world of programming.

As for now, the only option to fold some code lines is Expr() or Function(). And then I need to run that function or expression - time consuming and adds needless line of code.

Please cosider adding some Fold() function which just folds the code.

The script editor supports custom keyword lists to allow folding beyond Expr() and Function(). Can you explain what more is needed here?

Expr() and Function() can do the job but they have their own purpose. 

And we have to create a variable + call/run them after declaration.

I am using Visual Studio and it is called "region" there. It just creates a fold.

#region CreatingABC

codeABC1

codeABC2

#endregion

after you fold it, you see just this:
