Snippets Plugin

A plugin similar to the functionality in gedit's snippets plugin would be great.
If you don't know what snippets are, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snippet_%28programming%29
It'd be cool if it supported gedit and/or Textmate snippets so there's no need to recreate them.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how the editor handles plugins and the gedit/TextMate snippet formats referenced in the request, then define supported behavior and acceptance criteria; done means a snippets plugin works without recreating those snippet collections.
