Own template in "Surround with" action

Is there any possibility to create own teamplates which will be used with "Surround with" (ctrl+alt+T) or "Surround with live template" (ctrl+alt+J)?

For example, I would like to create template for HTML which will be surrounding selected text with PHP comments:

<?php /* SELECTED TEXT */ ?>

Easy -- it's ordinary Live Template -- just with special $SELECTION$ variable used.

For example:

try {
    $SELECTION$
} catch ($TYPE$ $$$VARIABLENAME$) {
    Logger::log($$$VARIABLENAME$);
    $END$
}

P.S. I suggest to create and use own groups for your own templates and not create them in existing/bundled groups: easier management (backup/sharing/etc); no possible screw ups when bundled ones will be updated in next major version etc.
