> Steps to reproduce:

> 2. C-x C-f .dir-locals.el RET

> Result: The entire Emacs standard header gets inserted into the

> Expected result: Either don't insert anything or use a custom skeleton.

Good addition for someone who doesn't use add-dir-local-variable
that inserts this header.

BTW, please also add the same two lines to the header of
.dir-locals.el in Emacs repository.
