Logger: show/hide or dim (highlight) debug/instrumentation code

The oracle open source Logger instrumentation library is gaining popularity and it would be great to build some specific support for it into SQL Developer, whether as a plugin or builtin.

https://github.com/OraOpenSource/Logger

To enhance code readability, it would be helpful for PL/SQL developers to be able to hide/show, or dim (e.g. grey highlight) any code calling their preferred debug/instrumentation library (e.g. Logger).

Refer to https://community.oracle.com/message/14080370#14080370 for one idea for how the editor might look.

This would really aid my new Developer colleagues allowing them to better see the trees for the wood.	7	19-NOV-17

Great idea, would increase efficiency of coding a lot! BUT: should work for all instrumentation code as for EBS development we use other logging functions!	10	13-MAR-17

Graying or hiding LOGGER code will greatly improve working on actual code and improving quality.	10	28-OCT-16
Should apply to all instrumentation code. Reduces the noise when reading code and that's for sure helpful. Known frameworks such as Logger should be available in a default SQLDev installation. But it'll be nice if others could be configured, e.g. to support existing, homegrown instrumentation code.	10	28-OCT-16

Make this more general: offer a second set of comment rules with configurable colors and search strings	10	27-OCT-16
The highlighting would need to be configurable much like all the other syntax highlighting. One could probably "hide" the text by using an "alternate" highlighting configuration where text=background=default_background	10	26-OCT-16
Please make it configurable! (maybe we don't need regexp for this, but different schema names would be great!)	10	26-OCT-16

Would be a great feature, since I use logger in all my APEX and PL/SQL development!!!	9	25-OCT-16
Maybe also an option to hide/gray out all references to code that resists in a certain database scheme?	9	25-OCT-16

Correction: this should be a feature request for the Code Editor   PL/SQL Syntax Colors (not the sql formatter).	10	24-OCT-16
