I see :)

OK, thanks.

In fact, there are some LaTeX \⟨command⟩s which are known to be
argumentless and for which, IMHO, after:

  ┌────
  │ C-c RET ⟨command⟩ RET
  └────

AUCTeX should insert:

  ┌────
  │ \⟨command⟩
  └────

and not:

  ┌────
  │ \⟨command⟩{}
  └────

Examples of such commands are \pause (now fixed), \frontmatter,
\mainmatter, \backmatter, \bfseries, \itshape, \ttfamily, etc.

As examples of such commands for which AUCTeX behaves well (doesn't
insert empty braces) are the font sizes switches (\tiny, \large, etc.).

All the best.
