I really like autoinsert.el, but it has one annoying bug. The variables auto-insert-directory and auto-insert-alist should be declared with defvar, not defconst. Many people (including me) setq all the variables we deal with much before we load packages. Often, libraries are auto-loaded, and we don't have an easy chance to change the variables. If the writers of packages such as autoinsert were to use defvar for all paramters the user might want to change, then this would be greatly facilitated. --Mike Bushnell
