Here is a patch to add - as an alternate skeleton character.  - operates
exactly as _ in setting skeleton-point, but does not interact with the
region wrapping effects.  This means that @ is completely unaffected and
remains as just the method of setting the skeleton-positions.

        ((eq element '|)
         (unless skeleton-modified (pop skeleton)))
        ((eq element '@)
-        (push (point) skeleton-positions)
+        (push (point) skeleton-positions))
+       ((eq element '-)
         (unless skeleton-point (setq skeleton-point (point))))
        ((eq 'quote (car-safe element))
         (eval (nth 1 element)))

This allows Stefan to have a character to use for marking skeleton-point
without wrapping the skeleton around the point.  It also allows mmm-mode
to continue to use both @ and _ in their skeletons without suffering
under the undesired semantics of the modified meaning of @ introduced by
Stefan's patch.  I hope that this solves the issue for everyone.
