Why is this?

I found myself constantly frustrated by the lack of method snippets within Visual Studio, so I dug deeper into how the ctor and prop snippets work. I realized I could easily create the snippets I was looking for.

So I did. Please enjoy.

Available snippets

Currenlty, there are only snippets for regular methods, static methods, and constructors. I'm always open to adding more, as long as they're useful.

Regular methods

method2	Code snippet for a method with two arguments
method3	Code snippet for a method with three arguments

Async methods

Shortcut	Description
amethod	Code snippet for an async method
amethod1	Code snippet for an async method with one argument
amethod2	Code snippet for an async method with two arguments
amethod3	Code snippet for an async method with three arguments
amethod3	Code snippet for an async with three arguments

Static methods

Shortcut	Description
smethod	Code snippet for a static method
smethod1	Code snippet for a static method with one argument

Contributing

Additional contributions are welcome. However, I don't want to bloat this extension with infrequently used snippets. They should be simple and used frequently enough.

Could you see Microsoft implementing this snippet? If so, create an issue to propose it!
If not, is it an extension of a commonly used snippet, or do you think Microsoft could implement it? If so, create an issue to propose it!
If not, the snippet probably doesn't belong in this repository. I'm always open for discussion.
