Hi

I want new code template hint, like variableFromNextAssignmentMatched, variableFromPreviousMatched.
 
As names show, it will replace string specified regular expression.

ex. IN PHP context
short name : vdoc2
code template :
/* @var $$${VARIABLE variableFromNextAssignmentName default="variable"} ${VAR_TYPE variableFromNextAssignmentMatched="(\w)+::" default="ClassName"} */

and use like this...

vdoc2<tab>
$val = Validation::get_instance();

it will be extended...
/* @var $val Validation */


The reason:

Recently, there are many PHP framework. And when use them, normally use classes' function or load function to get the class instance.

If developer, write '@return' of PHPDoc, NetBeans understand $val is Validation class' instance. But unfortunately, most of framework developers are lazy, no proper PHPDoc in the PHP files.

So as default, there is a code template, 'vdoc'. It use variableFromNextAssignmentType, but it not work above reason.

Then I want to new hints for code template. It is simple, and not hard to implement, I think. And also useful for any language coders, not only PHPer.
