Hi Drew,

thanks. abbrev.el needs a reconsideration from the bottom. Discussed 
this several weeks ago at emacs-devel. A re-write IMHO must start with 
specifications, i.e. it must be known, what to expect.

Being in favor of accepting arbitrary, case-sensitive strings as abbrev, 
which seems not working at the moment.

Cheers,
Andreas
