So is hippie-expand pretty much a superset of dabbrev? If so, wouldn't
it make sense to only have hippie-expand, perhaps renamed, with a
default configuration that only includes dabbrev functionality?
That would avoid the current argument over whether dabbrev should be
expanded, or a current dabbrev binding switched to hippie-expand
(implementing features by changing local bindings is generally a bad
method because it's rather brittle).
