Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Install snippets plugin: micro -plugin install snippets
Run command: micro test.c
Create main function using snippet: main, alt+s
Attempt to use printf snippet (pr, alt+s), get unknown snippet instead.
Using pr, alt+s outside main's curly braces: pr snippet works perfectly fine.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Research direction

Reproduce the problem with the snippets plugin using micro test.c: expand main with alt+s, then try the printf snippet inside its braces and outside them. Start by tracing how the snippets plugin resolves names in the current editor context. Done means the printf snippet expands inside the generated main function as it does outside it.
