I tried this option some time ago.
I can collapse s-expressions by right-clicking them and choosing "Collapse
S-expression", and expand back in a similar fashion.

That works good for editing the file. Having a way to toggle top-level
defines would sure be useful.

However, whenever I use this feature and save the file it goes in "GRacket
editor format", and though it's still a text file, that's not wanted in many
cases (for me) (for instance it doesn't play that nice with version
control).

(At least that's what I observe in Racket 5.1.1)

Is there a way to force saving in "text-only" format? (And keep the (...)
forms in the editor)
