[folding] Show number of lines folded

e.g. (using Python as an example)

def printthis(printme):

When the code above is folded, it is represented as:

def printthis(printme): ...

Instead of just “…”, it would be very useful to display how many lines are folded.

def printthis(printme): ...(2 lines)...

With short block it is not too difficult to identify the number lines folded by looking at the line number, but for a larger blocks, it would aid significantly by showing the number of line folded.
