Comments to indicate which structure a closing brace belongs to

Hello ~

In layout files, sometimes a sizable number of structures get nested, resulting in a few lines of closing braces. When modifying a structure, it sometimes takes time to figure out which brace needs to be removed or if I accidentally left a structure opened.

My current workaround has been to add comments after closing braces to so I know which brace corresponds to what structure ie:

// The content of the layout
  content {
    // content.section
    section {
      // content.section.content, the content of the layout section
      content {
        // ...
        // Blah blah blah blah
        // ...
      } // End content.section.content
    } // End content.section
  } // End content

If a plugin could be developed to add and update these kinds of comments automatically, that would be 🔥.

Thank you much ~

* Android Studio has a neat way of adding comments when writing Dart code where the comments don't get added to the code itself but are rather somehow "painted" on the background of the IDE *
