Description Mik Kersten CLA 2005-10-13 22:26:35 EDT 
For tools that want to use the IJavaFoldingStructureProviderExtension, but want finer-grained
control of what to collapse, it would be useful to have the following methods:
- collapseElements(List<IJavaElement>
elements)
- expandElements(List<IJavaElement> elements)

My use case is Mylar, which
currently needs to set it's own folding structure provider, but with this could simply
use the default one and drive the folding based on selections.  Note that for selections
this would only be getting called with a single element, but when a file is opened it
would need to be called with a list, hance the suggest to take lists (or arrays if JDT
is not moving to Java 5).
