Show ELSE positions in dsiplayNesting action

Ctrl+Shift+O = actio displayNesting shows an control block outline in RPG LPEX editor. It has limitations i can live with (5 levels max) but I really think it needs to highlight ELSE commands also.


Use Case:

When I have fix format code to review using C+S+O is nice but still requires me to hunt for ELSE commands and see which line they fall on to see which IF command it goes with.

    This RFE is a duplicate of another RFE. See for current status.
