Boneyard

Say we have a text:

MIKE
Hi! My name is Mike! I am from Earth.

We see very clearly that Mike is not from Earth.

We select this block with visual mode v, and enter iw. Then we enter the sequence <exp>b<exp> put that text in the boneyard.

/*
MIKE
Hi! My name is Mike! I am from Earth.

We see very clearly that Mike is not from Earth.
*/

Snippets can be used within Snippets.

May add markdown.snippets support later.
