Remarks
A session will be created only if the characters around the caret correspond to a brace pair supported by IBraceCompletionManagerFactory in the current content type or document.
If all the characters of the opening and closing brace pair are identical (for example, "|"), then all the characters on the left and right of the caret can be overtyped.
If the brace pair has different opening and closing brace characters, then only characters to the right of the caret can be overtyped. For example, creating a session on `` will only allow to overtype `-->`.
