Hi Manuel and Mosè,

IIRC, your assumption is right here and I didn't add any code to respect
`TeX-insert-macro-default-style' since the optional argument is
important for mandatory ones.  But then again, I think Manuel is right
here and the code should respect `TeX-insert-macro-default-style'.

I'm not sure if I can give it a roll in near future, but I will add it
to my todo list.

Best, Arash
