I think even simpler: make sure abbrev insertion only works when the
input word is strictly (case sensitive) different than the expansion
word; leave everything else as is.

Example: with a rule like "foobarical -> fooBarical" then 

Foobarical -> FooBarical (as is today)
FOOBARICAL -> FOOBARICAL (as is today)

but fooBarical -> fooBarical, because it's already what we want.
