I've been trying it out with KDevelop and it works pretty well - I like it! I 
hope you can commit it to the cvs if that's ok with the Kate guys. You can 
View->Code Folding->Collapse Toplevel, and after that find the methods you 
are interested in at the moment with the Class Browser and expand them - 
excellent..
