For a while I have struggled on how to describe this feature request, but thankfully someone else has gone and done a PoC in eclipse: http://code.google.com/p/lambda4jdt/

(certainly not a feature to be on by default, but an interesting code folding feature - useful for when your code has lots of callbacks/poor mans closures - which is common in swing and GWT and many other toolkits).

Issue was resolved
