    There's a whole bunch of alternatives indeed.  I remember looking at Tempo
    and Skeleton and thinking it'd be good to unify them.
    Both are used by other Elisp packages so we can't just drop them without
    providing backward compatibility.

If one of these packages is clearly better than tempo and/or skeleton,
we could mark the latter obsolete and begin converting the packages
that use it.
