Add editor separators (or tree-like grouping), if that is doable #153

Hello,

Currently I have to separate different editor tabs/files into logical "groups" by opening additional dummy files in editor (I use side editor tabs, not top ones): image

If that's doable, it would be nice to have an ability to group files in your own way (not linked to folder tree), something like this: image

User should be able to create/remove groups and drag-n-drop files between them.

This will greatly improve usability of MatLAB editor. Unfortunately, I don't know Java at all to implement it myself...

If those groups will have an ability to be collapsed, that would be great! If not, having groups still will bring some cleanness to large projects.

I also use dummy-files to "group" editor tabs. But to be honest development of this Plugin is on halt for now (not dead, i still use the plugin myself). It seems to me, that Matlab is pushing towards web Applications and I don't know if Matlab is going to replace the java-desktop with something different. this uncertainty does not really boost my motivation as you can imagine.
