mmm-mode uses @ in skeletons to mark special positions around the
skeleton for use afterwards. An mmm-mode skeleton looks like
... @ "front-tag" @ "other stuff" _ "other stuff" @ back tag" @
mmm-mode expects point to end up at the _. Simply because Stefan could
not imagine what @ was used for, he discarded its behavior and ruined
all of the existing mmm-mode skeletons.
