Currently there is no way to specify a simple choices in the templates which makes developers life easy when expanding templates

For eg.,

For bootstrap buttons, there are almost 6 types. If we need to support templates for bootstrap button, we need to add either 6 templates/a single template with the template variable class's default value as

<button class="btn btn-${1:default|primary|secondary|info|warning|danger}">$2</button>

While selecting this template, the user needs to delete the complete selection & type the required choice/selectively delete portions of this default value.

Instead, if snippets consider any value with pipe| separators to be choice & display a dropdown, then the user just need to use his up & down arrows in the keyboard/mouse click to select the actual choice.

This will improve the user experience for expanding templates significantly & improve developer productivity.
