I understand your approach, and your preference, but I'd really prefer the 
insertion to be automatic, based on the principle that it's much easier to 
have something and then delete or comment it than having to insert it 
manually. And basically ALL of my Perl (but not only!) programs begin in 
the same way.

Also, rather than specifying the template ad hoc with C-like strings, I 
would use an actual file: after all I'm a Perl programmer, not a S-Lang 
one...

Thus in my ~/.jed hierarchy I would like to hold a template subdir with 
templates for various languages. Either that or not a subdir but suitably 
named files: most probably template.* ones.

Eventually, I presume a templates.sl mode could handle the whole thing, 
but of course I don't have the slightest idea of how should it interface 
with the various language specific modes. (E.g. should they call it, or 
should it call them?)
