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.
