default sh-test in sh-script.el

[FKtPp]

Hi Aidan,

Sorry for bring confusion to you...

But that patch is not related to indent setting, the extra point moving
occurs when you using `C-c C-i' to insert if-else template. The
minibuffer initial-string initialized in the way people have to type
extra keys to avoid shell script syntax error.

Say if I want to insert a:

if [ -z "$ABC" ]; then
    echo "gocha!"
fi

I just type `C-c C-i' and the minibuffer initialized as "condition: [ 
]"(point on character `]') and I continue type in `-z "$ABC"<RET><C-]>'
will result in:

if [ -z "$ABC"]; then

fi

Note the sytax error at `ABC"]; then', character `"' and `]' should be
seperated by a space. To avoid this error, I always have to type in
`<C-b> -z "$ABC"<RET><C-]>' or `-z "$ABC" <RET><C-]>' etc.

With my patch while you type `C-c C-i' the minibuffer initialized as
"condition [  ]"(point just at the space character before `]'
character). And this will save some extra key strocks.
