Hi Nathan,

This is something I've wanted for long, and I hope I'll find the time 
to implement it after 7.9.

More precisely, I want something that captures the structure of the
subtree at point (with all elements), then let's you convert this
structure into a template for later interactive insertion.

I guess yasnippet can help to produce something close to what you want
for now.

Best,
