Snippet transform leaves conditional operator

[jrieken]

	"fffff": {
		"prefix": "ffff",
		"body": [
			"- (${1:void})${2:methodName}{",
			"${1/void$|(.+)/(?1:\n\treturn nil;)/}",
			"}"
		]
	},

• have the snippet above
• type number for the first placeholder
• press tab
• 🐛 there ?1: in the editor...

Would need for conditional insertions which is something we don't have, see :https://manual.macromates.com/en/regular_expressions#conditional_insertions.html

I'm confused, how do the linked textmate conditional insertions differ from the conditional replacements that vscode snippets already have:

            | '${' int ':+' if '}'
            | '${' int ':?' if ':' else '}'
            | '${' int ':-' else '}' | '${' int ':' else '}'

The original question can be achieved with:

	"${1/(void$)|(.+)/${1:+\n\treturn nil;}$2/}",  
                    // although it isnt clear if that last `$2` is desired, I'm guessing it is
