Hmm, hadn't thought of that.  I might consider doing a screencast,  
when I have a little free time.  Would that be helpful?

It's common for me to insert a time/upto/downto without needing the  
passed variable.  If you delete it, it will remove the vertical bars  
for the argument.  When I do this though, I follow it up with an  
immediate tab, to shut off snippet behavior.  Try deleting the arg,  
typing something, delete that, push tab, and type again so you can  
see what I am talking about.  (This would not be easy to show in a  
screencast.  :(  )

It's another one of those personal touches.  Hope it doesn't drive  
too many people crazy.  ;)
