Fold `if __name__ == '__main__':` block about simpylfold HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for your suggestion.

It would be my personal preference not to add special cases to the folding
logic. I realize that using if __name__ == '__main__': is a very strong
convention in Python, but it's not built-in syntax, which is where I would
prefer to draw the line. There are lots of other common idioms which we
could fold, but thus far have opted not to in favor of simplicity.

That being said, while I'm not inclined to implement this myself, I'd
consider accepting a well-written patch for it. It's not a bad idea, just
one that (arguably) falls outside the scope of this deliberately small and
lightweight plugin. I imagine that there are probably more users than just
yourself who have wanted this feature. So if you feel like adding this
feature yourself, we can talk about merging it in.

I believe SimpylFold should be minimal as possible - folding only def and
class blocks. However, if name == 'main': block is kind of a
special case: It's the application's main code block.

Any chance of adding support to fold it as well?

Might as well handle reverse writing of this block, that is if 'main'
== name:, as some people use this convetion. Same for using double
quotes instead of single quotes.
