FYI: The "you must implement my feature request or D will never

every popular language without the feature you want has
apparently succeeded despite not having said feature.
This is a little different, however, in the sense that there is
no reason to add a feature to the language to do what is
requested. If you use Emacs, you can get the same thing in any
language using comments:

This is an issue for the IDE, not for the language, and changing
the language would not have any effect on IDE support for code
folding.
