Well for one i had tried this feature. The idea was neat and i liked a bit. Would have even used it always. But due to certain restrictions/issues didn't. Like being confused if i was inside or outside the quotes. The tsm-mode in emacs having empty (doubles) quotes invisible made it unusable. Else it was good.
