I don't know if there is a plugin that does this kind of stuff. I would
do it like this:

,----[ template.vim ]-
| let s:template = [
| \ 'for(i=0;i ;i++)',
| \ 'vector< >::iterator it = xxx.begin(), end = xxx.end()',
| \ 'while (my ($k,$v) = each %'
| \ ]
|
| fun! CompleteTemplate(findstart, base)
| if a:findstart
| " locate the start of the word
| let line = getline('.')
| let start = col('.') - 1
| while start > 0 && line[start - 1] =~ '\a'
| let start -= 1
| endwhile
| return start
| else
| let res = []
| for item in s:template
| if item =~# '^' . a:base
| call add(res, item)
| endif
| endfor
| return res
| endif
| endfun
| set completefunc=CompleteTemplate
`----

Define your template stuff in the variable s:template
Each line has to begin with a \ and end with a comma (except the last
line) and each template needs to be put in quotes. Linebreaks are
trickier though. I am not sure right now, how to insert a linebreak. For
a tab, you could use \t in double quotation marks.

Source this file (or if you'd like to have this as a plugin, put it in
your ~/.vim/plugin directory if you are on Unix or $VIM and for Windows
put it in your $HOME/vimfiles/plugin directory (and create directories
that do not exist yet). The restart vim and this file should always be
loaded if your .vimrc contains the line
:filetype plugin on

Then you can use <ctrl-x><ctrl-u> to complete your code. All matching
templates will be put on a completion menu.

Christian
