Huh?? Hermitte's proposal (IIUC) has nothing to do with folding.

The proposal is to have categories:

Category:VimL (child of LanguageSpecific)
  for scripting in VimL (VimL abbreviations, VimL mappings,
  syntax enhancements, folding, test unit?, ...)

Category:Scripting
  for scripting "theory" (how to write a plugin, how to write a
  function, how to write a mapping, test unit?, ...)

I know very little about Vim scripting - what benefit do we get from the
above two categories? The distinction between VimL and Scripting seems a bit
subtle to me.

This issue would be cleared up if we had a couple of examples:
- some tips suitable for VimL only
- some tips suitable for Scripting only
