+;; commands which shrunk to one third. And these commands are now
+;; user configurable.

+If optional NO-NEWLINE is nil the skeleton will end on a line of its own.
+
+DEFINITION is made up as (PROMPT ELEMENT ...). PROMPT may be nil if not
+needed, a prompt-string or an expression for complex read functions.
+
+If ELEMENT is a string or a character it gets inserted (see also
+`skeleton-transformation'). Other possibilities are:
+
+ \\n go to next line and align cursor
+ > indent according to major mode
+ < undent tab-width spaces but not beyond beginning of line
+ _ cursor after termination
+ & skip next ELEMENT if previous didn't move point
+ | skip next ELEMENT if previous moved point
+ -num delete num preceding characters
+ resume: skipped, continue here if quit is signaled
+ nil skipped
+
+ELEMENT may itself be DEFINITION with a PROMPT. The user is prompted
+repeatedly for different inputs. The DEFINITION is processed as often
+as the user enters a non-empty string. \\[keyboard-quit] terminates
+skeleton insertion, but continues after `resume:' and positions at `_'
+if any. If PROMPT in such a sub-definition contains a \".. %s ..\" it
+is replaced by `skeleton-subprompt'.
+
+Other lisp-expressions are evaluated and the value treated as above.
+The following local variables are available:
+
+ str first time: read a string prompting with PROMPT and insert it
+ if PROMPT is not a string it is evaluated instead
+ then: insert previously read string once more
+ quit non-nil when resume: section is entered by keyboard quit
