User snippets are currently loaded from the snippets.cson file only

[izuzak]

Taken from atom/atom#6006: the docs say that user snippets are loaded from a snippets folder as well, but that doesn't seem to be true (they're loaded from the snippets.cson file only):

https://atom.io/docs/latest/using-atom-snippets#creating-your-own-snippets

There is also a directory called ~/.atom/snippets that you can fill with multiple json or cson files in the snippets format if you want to organize your snippets in a more coherent way.
