Enable custom postfix templates

[xylo]

First of all, I like your plugin very much. It really speeds up development time in verbose languages like Java and I like the object oriented approach, which has several advantages over the classical live templates.

In the last years I worked a lot with Scala. Whenever I have to work with Java I miss dozens of nice methods Scala provides on basic and collection types, such as:

• string.toInt
• array.toList
• list.toSet

I would really like to have those functions (or postfix templates) in Java as well. But I assume the they might blow up this project.

What do you think about enabling custom postfix templates which can be created by the user?

According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29248188/is-there-a-way-to-create-custom-postfix-completions-in-intellij it seems that I'm not the only one who is looking for them.
