Well, after looking at it, specially to this kind of definition:

(defvar mc-if-skel
   '(nil
     > "if (" _ ") {" \n
     > '(progn (mc-push-mark) nil) \n
     > "}" '(progn (indent-according-to-mode) nil) \n
     > '(progn (mc-push-mark) nil)
     nil)
   "*Skeleton for if statement")

I still think that adding the '@' as a special marker telling "store this
position into skeleton-position" is a good idea. For example the above
statement becomes.:

(defvar mc-if-skel
   '(nil
     > "if (" _ ") {" \n > @ \n > "}" '(progn (indent-according-to-mode) =
nil) \n > @
     nil)
   "*Skeleton for if statement")

Then you can use add a hook skeleton-end-hook to store those positions in
mark-stack if you want (I plan to make another hook building a "hole" at
each position).

Moreover why do you need indent-according-to-mode? replacing it by >
wouldn't be the same?


Anyway thanks for the quick answer.
