  Original ideas of special features including visual multi-words, xml tag pairs, omni-complete cycling.

• Cycle.vim by Zef
  Yes, there is already a plugin named 'Cycle'. Maybe I have to rename mine.

• switch.vim by AndrewRadev
  Supports more complicated patterns like ruby :a => 'b' to a: 'b', which is generally unable to achieve by alternative projects.
