C# snippet to create snippets

Question

Anyone have a snippet (or know where one exists) to create snippets? I saw one in a video demo for Visual Studio snippets a few weeks ago, but I can't remember where it was.

Dear god man, don't do it, if it was implemented that sort of recursive overload would cause the universe to explode! — blowdart

The question is not how to create a snippet, but if you know where a snippet to create a snippet is located.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Xml\1033\Snippets\snippet.snippet is a snippet for creating snippets.

There are VS.NET addins that allow creating snippets from a piece of code you selected in the editor, with a nice designer and stuff. Google for it...
