I asked this in a comment on the blog entry where Jono Bacon's talked
about acire. It seems strange to me to write an application devoted
solely to Python code "snippets" - I agree that they are templates,
not snippets IMHO. I'm sure Jono had his reasons, but I don't think
encouraging the writing of applications which meet such a small set of
requirements, when there may be better, more cooperative options
available.
