Hi everyone,

First contribution to emacs. This comes from the fact that I have a 
custom function that overrides auto-insert to fit my needs and I 
realised it was not a big change and could be merged into emacs directly.

This small patch aims to allow any function acting as a predicate with 
no arguments to be used as a condition in auto-insert-alist
