I was futzing around with the above tip and found some interesting text object behavior. Given the following snippet:
" {
     "inner quote"
  }

if point is on is somewhere between the `"` on the first line and the one starting `"inner quote"` on the second, doing `ya"` will yank `"inner quote"` as per the tip above and not what I expected:
`" {
      "
however if the snippet is all on the same line:
" {  "inner quote" }
doing `yaw` correctly yanks `" {  "`.

In fact if the quotes span multiple lines `yaw` doesn't do anything at all for example with this snippet:
" {
     "

Is there some reason for this?
