[ESS] Skeleton pair insert not working after upgrade.

[Marc Schwartz]

Hi all,

Apologies for the delay in my reply here, as I too was on vacation  
last week and am getting back up to date on e-mails and tasks.

As with McKay, simply changing the lines in ess-mode.el did not help.

However, I decided to checkout the svn version of ESS tonight, under  
the presumption that other code has sufficiently changed as to require  
needing the fully updated code base, rather than just changing two  
lines.

Upon doing that and making the appropriate adjustments to my ESS path  
in .emacs, I can say that the current svn code base of ESS does  
properly work (with respect to skeleton-pair parens) in ESS mode. Note  
that I make no adjustment to the default value of ess-r-args-electric- 
paren, which in my case is nil as per Rodney's earlier reply.

However, as Rodney also noted, brace "{}" skeleton-pair does not work  
in ESS mode and that would be desirable.

HTH,

Marc
