// Package snippet implements the specification for the LSP snippet format.
//
// Snippets are "tab stop" templates returned as an optional attribute of LSP
// completion candidates. As the user presses tab, they cycle through a series of
// tab stops defined in the snippet. Each tab stop can optionally have placeholder
// text, which can be pre-selected by editors. For a full description of syntax
// and features, see "Snippet Syntax" at
// https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification#textDocument_completion.
//
// A typical snippet looks like "foo(${1:i int}, ${2:s string})".
