Re: skeleton.el _ versus @, a new patch

    Here is a patch to add - as an alternate skeleton character.  - operates
    exactly as _ in setting skeleton-point, but does not interact with the
    region wrapping effects.

I don't want to say this is a bad idea, but before we consider it,
could you possibly tell me the answer to my question?  Is @ in the new
behavior equivalent to @ _ with the old behavior of @?  If not, could
someone tell me why not?

Perhaps the "region wrapping effects" make them different--if so, that
might explain how your answer relates to my question--but I don't know
if that is true.
