Compute the morphological skeleton of a region.

::morph_skeleton computes the skeleton of the input regions (Region) using morphological transformations. The computation yields a disconnected skeleton (gaps in the diagonals) having a width of one or two pixels. The calculation uses the Golay element 'h', i.e., an 8-neighborhood. This is equivalent to the maximum-norm.

::morph_skeleton returns H_MSG_TRUE if all parameters are correct. The behavior in case of empty or no input region can be set via:

  a) no region:    set_system('no_object_result',<RegionResult>)
  b) empty region: set_system('empty_region_result',<RegionResult>)
