I know of them for a long time, and yes I do have plans to add them.
But I have still other things on top of my list.

I don't have Delphi with CNPack, but out of interest:
If you put 1000 lines (fill each line with "caption := 
'a'+#44+inttostr(9);" / Maybe a few nested "If") between the begin and 
end of an If => does it slow down?

I know that is not likely code, but ...

Just to make the point, load MacOsAll (packages/univint from an older 
fpc 2.4.0 (300.000 lines) in delphi, select all (ctrl-a). In turbo 
delphi (2007) you can now go get your coffee. It will be locked up for 
minutes (my guess: the  search for equal words, for syncro edit)


And also there are other bits: currently Lazarus highlighter does have 
no awareness of the statement. it goes from begin to end (well that 
could still draw a line, but does not mark the "IF"
      If a =1 then
      begin
Folding starts at "begin" too, not at "if"
(of course, as I said, that is not a stopper)

-----------
The main issue s finding all the outer the block begin, in a fast way.

Actually that is now work in progress (still low prior). It is needed by 
another feature. (for preview compile trunk with "WithSynInfoView" 
defined). Open a file with 100.000 lines go to the end, navigate (it 
will be noticeable slow)
