I think that this is the way to go: Even when the template file is first
run through a macro program (like M4 or something) (if the macro program is
integrated into Bison), one can refer to the file before it was run through
the macro program.

(I spent some thinking about this issue when consider using a more advanced
formatter language to handle the skeleton files.)
