Re: hideshow support for treesitter

[Pranshu Sharma]

Is there a preferred way to handle this treesit wise. I know some packages (eg imenu) require major modes to define their support for it, but others like ispell do it themselves. I personally thing the latter would be better in this case.

Or hideshow code for treesit could be in hideshow.el as well.
The reason why 'treesit-outline-search' was added to treesit.el
was because treesit.el already contained imenu support.  But
imenu support could be in imenu.el as well.
