Sorry to pester you again with this.  I'm probably missing something, 
but I can't seem to find a way to make this work as expected based on 
`TeX-insert-braces-alist'.

As far as I understood, this variable only takes `t' or `nil' for any 
given macro, the later does not add the braces, and the former adds them 
and places point between the braces.  I don't see a way to emulate the 
effect `nil' has in `TeX-add-symbols' which is to add the braces and 
leave point after the closing brace.  Is this indeed the case, or am I 
really missing something?

Best regards,
Gustavo.
