In addition, there are other variants which I prefer to use to
explicitly tell vim that I want parens, instead of some generic
block, so I tend to almost exclusively use

i( or a(
i{ or a{
i[ or a[

instead of the "ib"/"ab" text objects. The combination of which
I use almost as much as just the

i" or a"
i' or a'

quotation text objects :)
