Set this,
(setq skeleton-pair t)
(global-set-key (kbd "(") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key (kbd "[") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key (kbd "{") 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)

i don't understand why you would like this. Suppose we want to write a
nested list, like '((a) (b)), same insert scheme is still useful.
