   I think I've finally tracked down and fixed the ;;-indentation problem.
   It turns out it was not in skeleton.el but in sh-script.el and was
   a subtle issue of a `syntax-table' text-property being wrongly inherited
   because of a missing `rear-nonsticky' property.

sh-if and sh-case now indeed seem to work fine, indentation and all,
except when sh-case is invoked at the very beginning of a buffer, in
which case one runs into a "Beginning of buffer" error, but that is a
completely separate issue, on which I reported earlier in this thread,
related to the question of whether sh-script.el assumes that all
shell-scripts start with a magic number (or at least some kind of
comment) and whether it should actually do so.  I will follow up on
this separately since it is an unrelated issue.

Thanks,
