;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Idea courtesy of yasnippets.
;;
;; If someone prefers not to type unknown dictionary entries into
;; mini-buffer prompts, it could instead use in-buffer fields.
;;
;; A template-region specifies an area in which the fields exist.  If
;; the cursor exits the region, all fields are cleared.
;;
;; Each field is independent, but some are linked together by name.
;; Typing in one will cause the matching ones to change in step.
;;
;; Each field has 2 overlays.  The second overlay allows control in
;; the character just after the field, but does not highlight it.

;; @TODO - Cancel an old field array if a new one is about to be created!

;; Keep this library independent of SRecode proper.
