🦥 Lazy Expander

Expand brace patterns into multiple values — directly in the editor.

Inspired by Tailwind CSS workflows where repeating a prefix for every class gets tedious.

input:  *:{text-sm,font-bold,text-gray-500}
output: *:text-sm *:font-bold *:text-gray-500

🔢 Numbering Options (Multiple Lines Numbered)

Option	Example output
0 to X	0. item 1. item 2. item
1 to X	1. item 2. item 3. item
a to x	a. item b. item c. item
A to X	A. item B. item C. item

💡 Spaces around commas are trimmed automatically — *:{ text-sm , font-bold } works the same as *:{text-sm,font-bold}.
