bug#57551: 29.0.50; hide-show in python-mode selects the current block imperfectly

[Dima Kogan]

Hi. Thanks for the analysis. I guess this isn't the right forum for this
discussion, but I'll put it here anyway. The reason I think the "if" and
"else" text and the preceding whitespace should be considered to lie
outside their block is that this is how cc-mode works. Consider the
C code equivalent to the Python code in the bug report:

void f(void)
{
    if(1)
    {
        11;
    }
    else if(2)
    {
        22;
    }
    else if(3)
    {
        33;
    }
    else if(4)
    {
        44;
    }
    else
    {
        5;
    }

    return 0;
}

Here (hs-hide-block) hides the if/else blocks ONLY if the point is
inside the {}. Otherwise, the whole f() is hidden.
