The new Smart Flat TreeView

SUMMARY

This is not a classic issue, but rather a question of whether the intended
implementation is something usefull.
I also considered opening a discussion topic for Kate but couldn't find
anything appropriate.

A brief background: I use Kate for all kinds of programming, including Java
(and as we all know, Java projects tend to have a deep folder structurt, that's
how the idea came about). 
I developed a prototype of a "Smart Flat TreeView" that mimics the behavior
seen in Eclipse, IntelliJ, and VSCode. If a folder only contains another single
folder, it doesn't need to be shown as a separate leaf in the tree. It can be
"flattened" and represented accordingly.

Attached is my prototype of the new TreeView.

Now the question is: Is this desired or unnecessary?

I would add it as an option in the settings, allowing users to choose which
TreeView to use.

Happy to hear your feedback
