A nice folding mode works nicely for that sort of thing. I normally
use emacs, but it doesn't seem to have a folding mode built-in, and
the add-on one's I've tried didn't seem to work in a very useful way.
I like the folding in Scite, and sometimes I fire it up when I'm
trying to figure out the logic/flow/looping in unfamiliar code.
