vim-bracexpand [wip]

Bash's brace expansion in vim. Very early stage, you probably shouldn't use this yet.

Bash Example

 $ echo a{b,c}d
abd acd

Vim Example

i += array[{0,1,2, 13}] * 3;

i += array[0] * 3;
i += array[1] * 3;
i += array[2] * 3;
i += array[ 13] * 3;

The function searches the current line for the first pair of curly braces which contains at least one comma Unlike Bash, the region can contain spaces, so {, a} would work.

Also unlike bash, the whole line is duplicated for each expansion.

The script does not handle nested brace expansions, yet. Bash's iterated expansion will come next:

$ echo {1..5}
1 2 3 4 5
$echo {0..10..2}
0 2 4 6 8 10

Mapped to <leader>e by default, but <Plug>BraceExpand is provided to create your own map.
