I see this in that node:
Other definition types:
defcustom, defgroup, defclass (*note EIEIO: (eieio)Top.), and
define-skeleton (see the commentary in skeleton.el).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But I do not see anything appropriate in the commentary in
`skeleton.el'. What is this all about?

The reference to skeleton.el's commentary was introduced in bc44be50 "*
loading.texi (Autoload): Explicitly state which forms are processed
specially.", there is no additional commentary in skeleton.el regarding
autoloading in that revision either. I think it's just intended to be
an explanation of what `define-skeleton' is.
Perhaps a better link would be `(autotype) Skeleton Language', similar
to how defclass has a link to eieio.

You can also use a magic comment to execute a form at build time

Indeed, that's also my impression.

I think we should link to "Using Skeletons", or maybe even to "Top" in
that manual, since the cross-reference is meant for those readers who
don't know what skeletons are.
Thanks.
