Oh. Static ifs don't do that. Disregard, I'm wrong.
FYI,
static if(true)//comments are great for adding some context to
your code.

and

are functionally equivalent in my IDE. Both will fold down to
only the top {(good), and both create a scope outside of which no

Just for fun:
1. Folding directives are glorified comments. #region has zero
meaning to the compiler; it's a hint to the editor to allow code
folding. It doesn't do any namespacing or scoping. Why, exactly,
are we writing code to accommodate the editor? It boggles my mind

If you have enough declarations in one file that they call for
code folding, it may be better to move them to a separate
module. Public imports and aliases allow doing this without
breaking any code.
Maybe, maybe not... proves nothing as it is just your preference

Generally
ypes in a single file, it is nice
to be able to fold them. It is also nice to be able to group
them in some way(hence the question) and fold the group so that
large chunks of the file can be visibly reduced.

From my understanding of the feature, it does the same as
// region
... code to be folded ...
// endregion
An IDE can then read those comments and allow code folding. It
might meet some definition of a language feature, but it is
nothing more than a comment.
