A possible use case from Perl. In the following *s* is a snippet that the<br>
user will expand with the tab key:<br>
<br>
*s* variableName<br>
<br>
which when expanded might produce:<br>
<br>
use Data::Dump qw(dump); say "AAAA variableName=", dump($variableName),<br>
"\n";<br>
<br>
( I spend much time typing such sequences which can be partially but not<br>
completed automated with the existing implementation of snippets)<br>
