Yes.
That's been a trivial thing to add, and I have done so.
Hence you will see it in ESS 5.3.3 which should be released
within a week.

I hardly ever use this, since I think  prompt(<myfunction>) to
be much more useful anyway, and I have wondered why ESS has that
insert-skeleton function at all [Kurt ?]; 
Why do you use it, Mathieu, rather than prompt() ?
