Wouldn't that rather be annoying?
Vim can't really do that and I doubt there exists an plugin that does
that for you. There are too many questions with this example, e.g. What
happens, if you edit that snippet part, while in insert mode? How would
Vim know, which part belongs to the snippet and which part it should
keep in the main file?
