Code snippets do not always appear for insertion, depending on the cursor placement?

\[severity:It’s more difficult to complete my work\]
There seems to be some logic that prevents certain code snippets from being suggested at various places in a document. I’d like to know if this is a bug or intentional and if intentional I’d like more information about this behavior or a way of controlling it because right now for me it limits how useful code snippets can be

I have created a snippet `twc` that inserts an extension method call `.TagWithCallPath(cc,c)`

It is intended to be used on a DbSet:


My snip has a pink arrow. The suggested snips are in yellow - **as, is, switch, with**

My snip is not suggested.

If I move the caret to placed after a `{` then the snip does appear and will insert:


Why does the snip show here, but not before?

If I press tab when the snip is not suggested, i get "as"

I understand the notion that some snips should be prevented in some places = it would be silly to write `var ctor =` and suddenly have a constructor appear in the middle of a method but if there is a logic that does something like that it is currently making some of my snippets unusable - how do I turn that off?

If there is no way of turning that off, I wish to raise a feature suggestion of "allow snips to be configured so that they can always be inserted"
