[Feature Request] snippet support RANDOM

[seognil]

[use case]
console.log('#45dlk5', $1)
generate a simple random string as a quick debug flag

[feature request]
add a $RANDOM varible to snippet
or support JS expression as ES6 did
e.g. `${Math.random().toString(36).slice(-6)}` => '45dlk5'

@jrieken , I can take this up but need some starter and code pointers for this :)
I just need some more understanding as we can do something like this
console.log(${Math.random().toString(36).slice(-6)},$1);

Is this still open? Can I take this?
