Vim doesn't *need* it to be a {{{, it can handle any other mark if you tell it 
to.

For QML, there is no syntactic separator for the item groups, since the groups 
don't need to be separated.

Saying that it 'hides bugs' is almost the same as saying that separating 
source code into multiple files is hiding the bugs because you don't usually 
open all files in a project when editing one.

Longer QML files would benefit from having the comments above each section. 
Whether it has a special markup for folding, or not is not that important, but 
doesn't hurt to have it.*

Cheerio,
Ivan

* scene_opengl.cpp from kwin can be used as a beautiful example - it has 
headers which separate the files into parts that implement different classes.
