I am working on some ideas and recommend that emacs beefs up outline-minor-mode
for the different programming languages.  Outline structures would then be 
available
for use.  And if users want to change they can do that as well.  We would  need 
some
docementation with real examples on how to set things up.  Better still, if the
information is provided in the outline.el code.
