Maybe some context: I think some people, at least me, use abbrev mode to
properly capitalize words with unique casing, needs not met by regular
capitalization rules. It means abbrev keys and values sometimes contain
the same word but with different casing. That's why I want nothing to
happen when the user writes a word with the right casing, making an
abbrev expansion unnecessary.
