Snippets for command line bash?

Question

I use vim and snipmate for my python programming. It would be ideal if I could have a fragment system for the bash command line. Right now I am using gnome terminal in ubuntu ...

For example, if I type:

for<TAB> 

I get:

 for i in {1..50}; do SOMETHING; done 

My google foo does not suit me, so I turn to SO again. Any ideas?
