Re: Abbrev tables in elisp with some extra stuff

[Andreas Röhler]

It was a request at

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2007-09/msg00438.html

which I consider worthwhile to reflect in this context.

XEmacs already is able to expand not only words but
phrases.

Thus you may have a phrase in one language which
expands to another phrase in an other language.

As XEmacs already does it, why not adapt the code from
there? 

BTW: when doing translations it might be of interest to
expand the word/phrase after point instead before.

Thanks all
