This is definately planned for gtksourceview 2.0, along with the new
highlighting engine being worked on by muntyan for SoC.

You can also find a "folding" branch in gtksouceview 1., but iirc it's
not really functionnal (missing informations on where to fold, etc.)

GtkSourceView is maintained by Paolo Maggi, and you can find him and
related people on #gedit on irc.gnome.org.
