Random expansions for a single snippet name

[GaurangTandon]

Having brb always expand to "be right back" can make a person sound like a machine in online conversations. If we had the option of randomly expanding to one among multiple bodies for a single snippet name, that'd be really useful. (brb => "be right back", "be back quickly", "i'm waiting, be back soon")

@iWrote What could be the pitfalls in this feature? (aka what's your thoughts?)

Don't people already sound like machines ? ? ? I think this might get confusing for new users. Is it in demand? Has there been a request for this? This looks like it's on the verge of feature-overloading.

btw, brb = (I will) be right back. You're telling the other person you're going somewhere.

@iWrote Well, this seems to be a not-so-popular request on another expander.

I just intend to have a discussion on the feasibility of this feature. I haven't assigned any milestones/projects yet to it.

I think this might get confusing for new users.

I had thought about a small option: "Add random expansion" below the snippet body box in the edit snippet panel, along with a small question mark (for people who get confused) next to it which will link to the corresponding help page entry.

LOL, I always thought the other way around :P
