As I said, it will be independant of the type of the buffers manipulated
; ie one plugin (made of 3-4 files) for latex, vimL, C++, xslt, ...
It is based on mu-template [BTW, I have some features in mind that I
want to provide and then I will contact Gergely Kontra in case he is
still maintening (t)his plugin].

Otherwise, the other features are:
- Empty lines coming from '¡...¡' or '¿...¿' are purged
- A template skeleton can be reindented after it has been loaded
- The templates can be placed in any directory from
  {runtimepath}/template or $VIMTEMPLATE (list of directories)
  Useful for shared projects or installations
- Several options permit to deactivate some automatic and undesirable
  behaviours when needed
- I've defined a mapping (i_CTRL-R_TAB) that will search for template
  files matching: "template.{&ft}-{<cWORD>}" or "{&ft}/template.{cWORD}"
  ; in case there are several choices, a dialog will ask the user which
  template to insert ; cf xslt/ and tex/ templates in mu-template.tar.gz
  in my http://hermitte.free.fr/vim/ressources/ directory.
  i_CTRL-R_SPACE will work instead with the keyword preceding the
  position of the cursor.
  i_CTRL-R_xxx mappings can be changed to anything we want from outside
  the plugin thanks to the <Plug> mecanism.
- It supports markers from my version of bracketing.base.vim, Robert
  Kelly IV's markjump or your placeholders from imaps.vim

The current 0.26 version is functional and so far I have only one "bug"
left (my vim windows blinks one time ; ie I got one flash in insert
mode -- not critical, but undesired).

I haven't written the documentation yet. But as you will notice, it is
not complicated to use. Check the templates skeletons I propose for
examples.
