Summary:
In Xcode 3, text macros can contain variables which are expanded, such as $(DATE) and $(PROJECTNAME). Also, by virtue of being in a menu, they can have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them.

Steps to Reproduce:
* Create a new snippet with the text "-- $(USERNAME) $(DATE)".
* Attempt to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
* Use the snippet in text.

Expected Results:
* It should be possible to assign a keyboard shortcut – for example, by entering a modifier-key combination instead of a string in the Completion Shortcut field.
* A string containing your user name and the current date should be inserted.

Actual Results:
* There is no apparent way to assign a key combination. (In particular, the Completion Shortcut field only takes regular text input.)
* The literal text of the snippet is inserted without expansion.

Regression:
Equivalent functionality exists in Xcode 3.2.6.

Notes:
To the best of my knowledge, the supported variables in Xcode 3 are:
