C# snippet to create snippets

Anyone have a snippet (or know where one exists) to create snippets? I saw one in a video demo for Visual Studio snippets a few weeks ago, but I can't remember where it was.

The question is not how to create a snippet, but if you know where a snippet to create a snippet is located.

There are VS.NET addins that allow creating snippets from a piece of code you selected in the editor, with a nice designer and stuff. Google for it...
