Code block structure highlighting extension for Visual Studio

Question

I'm searching for free tool which paints vertical lines highlighting logical structure of code blocks in Visual Studio 2015.

For example

If a = 1 Then
|   If b = 1 Then
|   |   c = 1
|   Else
|   |   c = 2
|   Endif
Else
|   c = 3
EndIf

Extension Productivity Power Tools 2015 has the functionality.

It is called Structure Visualizer and can be found illustrated at MSDN blog article under corresponding paragraph.

It adds 3 things:

• colorful vertical lines connecting beginnings and endings of code blocks
• code structure map if editor vertical scrollbar is switched to map mode
• code popups (peek) at vertical lines leaving the viewport or anywhere on the scrollbar map

Colors can be adjusted in items named "Block Structure" located under Visual Studio menu
Tools > Options... > item Environment > Fonts and Colors.
