Tested the following for <some_command> being dir:

exec(':r !<some_command>') |normal zM

Doesn't the first line of the fold constitute a table of contents? I do
not see a blue line -- instead, I see a + in the left most column and
the rest of the line is the first line of the folded material.

For me, I know the rules being used for creating folds. So when I see
unfolded material, I can see the rule for folding in the material and
know that the material is unfolded material. Since I can readily see
that the unfolded material is part of a fold, I do not need an
additional, superfluous indicator that the material can be folded.
