What's the difference to foldmethod=indent

[jounathaen]

Hi, To be honest, I haven't installed the plugin, but just from reading the README, I don't get what the benefit of this plugin is, in contrast to vim's foldmethod=indent. Would be nice to have this information in the README. :-) Greets Jounathaen

Yes this should be documented! Why I started writing this plugin instead of using foldmethod=indent:

• foldmethod=indent only works for indents that are a multiple of shiftwidth and thus fails for aligned code lines and inconsistent indentation. Vim-anyfold correctly defines folds for arbitrary indents.
• Vim-anyfold recognizes braces as part of indented blocks and correctly folds them. I think it gives results comparable to filetype-specific folding plugins for e.g. C++ or Java.
• vim-anyfold optionally folds multiline comments.

A disadvantage of vim-anyfold is that it is much slower than foldmethod=indent.

I will add this information to the README. Thank you!
