The current code allows the following trick:

	"fun f (" @ ")" \n "{" \n _ \n "}"

such that selecting a region and calling the skeleton will
put the region in the body of the function (because of the _)
and point will be put at the right place for you to enter the
arglist (because of the @).

Your suggestion would break such usage.
Could you describe concrete cases where your suggestion would
be helpful ?
