Autocomplete for Go code (fantastically) suggests functions and helpfully shows the documentation for the function, e.g. arguments and return types.

Example completion

If I hit tab, the DialHTTP function is inserted.

My question: is it possible to insert a "template" of the argument call? Since autocomplete shows the arguments, I would like to have this line inserted when I press tab:

client, err := rpc.DialHTTP(network, address)

Then I can replace the arguments with my arguments.

If you install yasnippet and ac-go-expand-arguments-into-snippets is non-nil(Default is t) then argument snippet is expanded like following animation gif.

enter image description here

company-mode provides such feature by itself, so you can use it without yasnippet by company-mode.
