I coded this up as a patch for SciTE/Scintilla at one point, but it
didn't get accepted. It was used for a while at my work, but never
really settled in as being useful. Python code tends not to be as big
and complex as C code often is, so it's not as useful to have a
feature like this.

If you want it, I can probably hunt down the patch file somewhere.
