;;; Commentary:

;; A very concise language extension for writing structured statement
;; skeleton insertion commands for programming language modes.  This
;; originated in shell-script mode and was applied to ada-mode's
;; commands which shrunk to one third.  And these commands are now
;; user configurable.

;;; Code:

;; page 1:	statement skeleton language definition & interpreter
;; page 2:	paired insertion
;; page 3:	mirror-mode, an example for setting up paired insertion

(defun skeleton-insert (skeleton &optional no-newline regions)
  "Insert the complex statement skeleton SKELETON describes very concisely.
If optional NO-NEWLINE is nil the skeleton will end on a line of its own.

With optional third REGIONS wrap first interesting point (`_') in skeleton
around next REGIONS words, if REGIONS is positive.  If REGIONS is negative,
wrap REGIONS preceding interregions into first REGIONS interesting positions
\(successive `_'s) in skeleton.  An interregion is the stretch of text between
two contiguous marked points.  If you marked A B C [] (where [] is the cursor)
in alphabetical order, the 3 interregions are simply the last 3 regions.  But
if you marked B A [] C, the interregions are B-A, A-[], []-C.

SKELETON is made up as (INTERACTOR ELEMENT ...).  INTERACTOR 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
	_	interesting point, interregion here, point after termination
	>	indent line (or interregion if > _) according to major mode
	&	do next ELEMENT if previous moved point
	|	do next ELEMENT if previous didn't move point
	-num	delete num preceding characters (see `skeleton-untabify')
	resume:	skipped, continue here if quit is signaled
	nil	skipped

Further elements can be defined via `skeleton-further-elements'.  ELEMENT may
itself be a SKELETON with an INTERACTOR.  The user is prompted repeatedly for
different inputs.  The SKELETON 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 INTERACTOR in such
a subskeleton is a prompt-string which contains a \".. %s ..\" it is
formatted with `skeleton-subprompt'.

Quoted lisp-expressions are evaluated evaluated for their side-effect.
Other lisp-expressions are evaluated and the value treated as above.
Note that expressions may not return `t' since this impplies an
endless loop.  Modes can define other symbols by locally setting them
to any valid skeleton element.  The following local variables are
available:

	str	first time: read a string according to INTERACTOR
		then: insert previously read string once more
	help	help-form during interaction with the user or `nil'
	input	initial input (string or cons with index) while reading str
	quit	non-nil after resume: section is entered by keyboard quit
