Description

Type: Feature Request

Context: I'm editing a c# program.

Request: I'd like the "outline" panel to somehow show what scope (internal, private, protected, ...) each item has. And also, it'd be nice to somehow have the possibility of adjusting the level of visibility in that view (only public, +internal, +protected, everything)
