[ESS] Skeleton pair insert not working after upgrade.

[Vinh Nguyen]

i'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8 with emacs compiled from the cvs source
using the nextstep method.  i have ESS 5.4, and I DO NOT HAVE the
problem u stated.  i have the following in my .emacs:

;; following from Marc Schwartz from ESS list, works globally
;; enable skeleton-pair insert globally
(setq skeleton-pair t)
;(setq skeleton-pair-on-word t)
(global-set-key (kbd "(") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key (kbd "[") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key (kbd "{") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key (kbd "\"") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
;;(global-set-key (kbd "\'") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe) ;; apostrophe
(global-set-key (kbd "\`") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
;;(global-set-key (kbd "<") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
;; Delete empty pairs like '()' taken from
;; http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SkeletonMode#toc14 ##Deletion section
(defvar skeletons-alist
  '((?\( . ?\))
    (?\' . ?\')
    (?\" . ?\")
    (?[  . ?])
    (?{  . ?})
    (?<  . ?>)
    (?$  . ?$)))
(defadvice delete-backward-char (before delete-empty-pair activate)
  (if (eq (cdr (assq (char-before) skeletons-alist)) (char-after))
      (and (char-after) (delete-char 1))))
