I don't understand why yas-expand (or yas/expand) appears in
`org-self-insert-command'. This feature was introduced for the first
time in 94c4f801a2a8f0e0e14b48719c22e06dd9a1e599:

    Tables: Fix auto-blanking of fields is yasnippet is active.
    
    When yasnippet is active, it is the official binding of TAB.  That
    means, the org-mode self-insert command must know that it may blank
    table fields if the last command was yas/expand.

The "must know" part is not clear to me. I tend to think we should
remove it.
