I am not sure that the meaning of arguments of `skeleton-insert-paren-maybe'
should be redefined. It clearly declares its purpose by the first line
of docstring:
"Insert the character you type ARG times."
So, perhaps, a new function could be created with a different purpose.
But then why create a new function if the existing `open-parenthesis'
can be easily improved with retaining backward compatibility?
