You're still confusing code readability with getting an overview 
of a class. They are two different things.

If you need an overview that you can view in text, add comments 
at the top of the class with a method signature on each line. 
That will give you the overview you need and reproduce the total 
nightmare of keeping it in sync with the methods. Something you 
would also have to do with separate declarations and 
implementations.
