Provide commands to expand selection up to semantic block

[octref]

The selectionRange API allows kind on the ranges returned.

export class SelectionRange {
	kind: SelectionRangeKind;
	range: Range;
	constructor(range: Range, kind: SelectionRangeKind);
}

Can we offer commands for "selecting up to the next ${SelectionRange.kind}"?

For example, in Vim I have vi(, vi[, vi{ for selecting up to the next syntactical enclosing (), [], or {} blocks. I would like to have commands for selecting up to the next semantical blocks.

@dbaeumer fyi, would like to know what you think too

If I remember correctly being able to support something like this was the idea of having a kind.
