Enhancement to Show Block Nesting for Else and When

Currently Else and When are ignored when Show Block Nesting is requested. Else and When could easily be shown also with a horizontal line connecting to the innermost vertical line.

The horizontal line would (should) never need to go beyond the innermost vertical, so it would remain quite clean. A small dot at the connection point would be even better.


Use Case:

1 - Want to see Block Nesting for a complex statement including Else or When.

2 - Hit Ctrl-Shift-O to request this, and any Else or When statements used are tied into the resulting display.

    I really find the absense of identifying the Else, ElseIf, and When statements when requesting Show Block Nesting very annoying and it really voids the reasons for using the Show Blow Nesting feature. Identifying them as described would provide a tremendous productivity boost for those developers that use Show Block Nesting and many of us would use much more frequently.

    Come on folks and vote for this RFE. I can't image it would be a difficult change for the Rational developers so it just needs to be a priority for them.
