Out of curiosity, what do you mean by loose or irregular?  Most blocks of SDL
are surrounded by curly braces, and in theory, one could have a collapse
threshold, where any block surrounded by curly braces that has more lines than
the threshold could be collapsible (allowing nested collapsing, etc).  The user
selecting many lines and selecting a hide or collapse menu option could also
work.  This might be a more platform specific thing, though.
