Thanks! I see we have added much of the same stuff. I was hoping you had  
found a way to avoid all the duplication, which I see you haven't  
unfortunally.
I have stuff like the following in my file.
absolutely horrible duplication

# TRY/CATCH/FINALLY
snippet tn
	throw new ${1}Exception(${2:"error"});
	${3}
snippet try
	try
	{
		${1:static assert(false);}
	}
snippet catch
	catch(${1}Exception ${2:ex})
	{
		${3:static assert(false, "$1Exception not handled");}
	}
snippet finally
	finally
	{
		${1:static assert(false, "finally not implemented.");}
	}
snippet tc
	try
		${1:static assert(false)};
	catch(${2}Exception ${3:ex})
		${4:static assert(false)};
	${5}
snippet tcb
	try
	{
		${1:static assert(false);}
	}
	catch(${2}Exception ${3:ex})
	{
		${4:static assert(false);}
	}
	${5}
snippet tf
	try
		${1:static assert(false)};
	finally
		${2:static assert(false)};
	${3}
snippet tcf
	try
		${1:static assert(false)};
	catch(${2}Exception ${3:ex})
		${4:static assert(false)};
	finally
		${5:static assert(false)};
	${6}
snippet tcfb
	try
	{
		${1:static assert(false);}
	}
	catch(${2}Exception ${3:ex})
	{
		${4:static assert(false);}
	}
	finally
	{
		${5:static assert(false);}
	}
