I'm very flattered, but here you should mostly think Stefan Monnier
who pitched the original idea and the "dynamic snippet" syntax,
as well as coaching me circa 2015 through the macrology-laden
implementation (which could probably see a tweak or twenty).

Anyway, I don't think the package is production-ready yet.
It's missing some notable and advanced features of the Yasnippet
engine some of which I'd have to get reacquainted with.  Notably
Yasnippet's undo capability is still missing.

I don't use Yasnippet much :-) except for one single trivial
snippet that inserts the date&name in comments.  And sometimes
via LSP (because LSP issues snippets in the original Textmate syntax
and Yasnippet groks that).

Anyway, if someone could write (failing) tests for those features
I would probably be motivated to implement them.
