No they are not, but anyway... ;)

What if you delete $2 and back-tab to $1?

The thing Justin Blake wants (about starting new snippets inside 
snippets) is on the to-do, when I get to that, I'll consider this one 
as well. There is some improvements I'd like to make, for example I'd 
like to be able to filter a mirror-typing (e.g. the “wrap in tag” 
snippet should not show tag arguments for the close tag), so I may end 
up with a more general system than currently (which should be good :) 
).
