Re: very simple braces based folding

Yes, I have the same file, it's the one that ships with vim 7.2

What I did was copying your javascript.vim to my
~/.vim/syntax/javascript.vim and tweaked it there. Now I have what I
initially wanted, because I changed the folding region to be bounded
by ^{$ and ^}$ because I always put the opening and closing braces of
functions in their own lines. Also, I changed the fold text to tell me
the number of lines and also applied the patch that was sent by
Christian. And now everything is good!

Cheers,
Daniel
