I just have to shout to the world (well, to sam fans) that this editor
is wonderful! Now that I'm actually working directly in sam instead of
just using it via a pipe (from wily), I'm amazed at how much easier it
is to do stuff.

One of the things I tend to do in Java is write a method with name X
that takes no args, X(), or takes N args, X(N). X() tends to just pass
some sort of defaults on to X(N).

When writing JavaDoc comments for each method, it's a major pain
a lot of it tends to be a straight copy and paste one to the
other

Now, with sam, I can just write the top java doc comment, and when
I'm finally ready I can just write

,x/^\/\*(.+\n)+ \*\/\n/ t /}\n/

To copy the top comment down to the second method. e.g.

	/**
	 * 1-5 lines describing Foo
	 */
	public void X()
	{
		...
	}
	public void X(N)
	{
		...
	}

turns into

	/**
	 * 1-5 lines describing Foo
	 */
	public void X()
	{
		...
	}
	/**
	 * 1-5 lines describing Foo
	 */
	public void X(N)
	{
		...
	}

sam's slogan ought to be 'Making your life easier through
structured regular expressions.' =)
