[erlang-questions] erlang emacs mode question

[Joe Armstrong]

I have a feature request. Integrate with org-mode

http://orgmode.org/

Org-mode is amazing "some people spend their entire life in org-mode"
- it turns emacs into
a proper folding editor/organiser.

Warning: org-mode is addictive

What I'd like is "org mode erlang editing"

hit tab on the first line of a function definition hides or reveals
the body of the function.
hit meta-uparrow on the first line of a function move the function up
in the file.

This could be integrated with a refactoring program to move functions
between modules with one keystroke
