yes - the code folding in that screenshot appears to do more harm than good.However, you mentioned a plugin could be written to use regions in a way that's more similar to the ones implemented in VS2010.
You also mentioned that there was some existing code floating around for this implementation.
Is there some kind of codeproject page, etc, with a working plugin and code that I can download and tweak for my own use?
I don't know about a full project you could use, but this is the page I followed when I tried it - however I am pretty sure this will only work with SSMS 2012 because it is based on VS2010, whereas SSMS 2008 is based on VS 2008 and I don't think that had MEF...

If you do try it yourself, make sure you put the region handling code in a separate thread and be prepared to handle that code being called a lot when editing...you may want to delay activation of your code and/or kill an "in progress" parsing run in order to start again.
