[Lazarus] Hiding Comments

[Thierry Coq]

Hello all,

I join theo in asking for such features, my emphasis is on having more 
structured "comments" embedded in the code. For example, storing the 
design model, requirements, or traceability to the design and 
requirements. Of course, this would be awkward to manage if a feature 
like the one theo asks is not available. Even better, if there were a 
system to manage the structure of the comments (and turn them on/off), 
maybe in some XML-like syntax...

For example, I would love to be able to mention the Big-O notation of 
the algorithms in a structured manner that can be recovered 
automatically, and can be optionally hidden in the code when not useful.

Best regards,
Thierry
