Re: [ELPA] New package: paced

Interesting. In your comparison to pabbrev.el, instead of "you’ve got to
retrain pabbrev every time you restart Emacs", I would say, "it retrains
itself automatically", though. And as an advantage over both paced and
predictive, it requires no set up at all to use. You just turn it on.
