Feature Request: Json Extension Settings: Use a dictionary key value for each anchor. #152

If the name of an anchor was defined via a key rather than a property within the anchor declaration in the settings JSON, it would be possible to fold it AND see which anchor it is.

Specific use case, I have a lot of anchors defined and if I could fold them so only the name of the anchor was visible, I could get a lot more of them on screen at once, which in turn would allow me to compare two anchors at opposite ends of the list more easily.

I've faced similar frustrations before so I've gone ahead and updated the way anchors are configured. The old array-based syntax is still accepted as well but has been marked as deprecated.

Hopefully this is what you had in mind!
