This is not possible (but something I would like to allow later).
The printf snippet in the C bundle tries to fake it by having an extra tab stop, and then conditionally inserts ‘(’ to the left of it, and ‘)’ to the right (well, it actually uses other characters, but in this case it would).
For an example, switch to C, then type ‘printf’ followed by tab. Now if you delete the %s text, the argument placeholder disappears, and tabbing goes after the ‘)’, if however you keep it, or later write another %-sequences, the argument placeholder appears again, and tabbing goes to right before the ‘)’.
Thanks Allan :-)
I ended up making something like this :
real*${1:8}${2: a/d}${2/(,a)|(,d)/(?1:llocatable)(?2:imension)/} ${2/,a|(,d)/(?1:()/}$5${2/,a|(,d)/(?1:))/} :: ${3:name} ${2/,d|(,a)/(?1:()/}$4${2/,d|(,a)/(?1:))/} $0
It's not perfect (there are unwanted tab stops) but I still find it more convenient than putting the caret between the braces “by hand”.
