Snippets for Bash Command Line?

Question

I use vim and snipmate a lot for my python programming. It would be ideal if I could have a snippet system for the bash command line. Right now I use the gnome terminal in ubuntu...

For instance, if I type:

for<TAB>

I get:

for i in {1..50}; do SOMETHING; done

My google foo fails me, so once again I'm turning to SO. Any ideas?

I'm not aware of some sort of "plugin" for this, but you could hack the completion scripts if you really wanted to. – Infundibulum
