Well, I'm not terribly interested in rewriting all the snippets.  I'm  
mostly interesting in making them more accessible.

Snippets will be configurable as they are now.  you'll be able to  
disable the ones you don't like.

You use the folding comments then?

I agree this is sort of a problem, but it's not one I know how to  
solve for everyone.  If you don't like using the “\” key you can  
just remap some other key to call the command (which will insert the  
backlash for you and bring up the completion suggestions).  I doubt  
there is one particular key which will work for every different  
layout, and there is only one command you would have to change.
