They are simple plain text representations of certain user configurations.
The first usage came from right-clicking the Clear button in a CTB's Edit User Button dialog, and looks like this:Custom Columns also support them:I believe these are the only two actions currently supported.
My guess is they'll take the form:But maybe Don has better terminology for the category and config fields.
Another way to look at them is as a shortcut to filling out configuration dialogs - with <snip_config> being the key to the specific dialog, and <snip_category> tying it to a specific feature.
I do find it odd that they use this format instead of standard INI, which would be easier to work with in scripts, but this format is friendlier to read without all that syntactic sugar.
