@b4n, underscore is in fact used as a placeholder in patterns some languages, [eg](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.6.0/book/patterns.html) [and](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#blank) [and](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-reference/pattern-matching) but not C. :grin: So it is not unreasonable to use it for this, especially given the symbol issues @kugel- mentioned.
And yeah a semantic snippet placeholder might be a nice future improvement, but [ ] is a common language syntax, so I suspect it may get used in snippets, so another syntax for indicating the placeholder might be better, but the idea seems sound. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
