I'm sorry, but that fold info looked pretty nasty to me.  I really like
the way Todd has implemented the folding, using separate files.  I imagine
this scheme must make the relational features of FOLDED easier to implement
as well (and thus, easier for us to hack on! ;-).

Your points about speed are right on, though - FOLDED could use quite a bit
of optimizing.  As you mentioned, though, Todd does explain in the
documentation that it was brought up to be small and functional, and not
necessarily a speed demon.

One thing I really like is the way the screen redraws (from the line
you're on outwards).  But I too wish that it didn't redraw quite so much ;-).
