Creating multiple cursors from symbol under point

  Modify multiple occurrences simultaneously

I've discovered iedit, which allows me to C-; over any string and edit all occurrences of it simultaneously, à la multiple-cursors. The default behaviour is that, by pressing C-; only once, it selects all occurences of the string in the whole buffer. Is there a way to expand the selection to each new match one at a time? For those familiar with, I'm basically trying to replicate Sublime Text's functionality when you Ctrl/Cmd-D over any string.

  Multiple cursors for emacs.

I don't know about iedit, since I stopped using it in favor of multiple-cursors (short mc). With mc, it is possible to do that. First you mark some text and then you select occurrences of that text with mc/mark-next-like-this, mc/mark-previous-like-this and mc/skip-to-next-like-this, mc/skip-to-previous-like-this. Remove those cursors with mc/unmark-next-like-this and mc/unmark-previous-like-this.
