Adhere to snippet options when listing snippets

[SirVer]

Hi Holger,

atm it isn't possible to invoke the list of the available snippets directly after leaving the last snippet (reaching it's final jump mark) without adding an additional tab or space character.

It would be nice if we could configure the popup list in the same way like snippets, e.g. through:

let g:UltiSnipsPopupOption = "b|i|w"

b = only at the beginning of a line
i = inword expansion (that's what I like to use because I don't have to provide the extra space / tab before I can get the list of snippets again)
w = word boundary

If the variable is left empty, the default could be used which is probably "w" atm.

Tia,
Ulf

It makes little sense to list a snippet when it would not be expanded. But there is a stupid bug lurking in the code (it is clearly marked in init.py with TODO makers and should be a low hanging fruit for contributors): ultisnips does not adhere to the snippet options properly when determining if a snippet should be listed - the snippet you have troubles with is likey a word-boundary option. It won't get listed directly after a non-whitespace due to this bug.

a new option as you propose makes no sense to me and will only be confusion for users.
