Is there some smooth way to avoid having a space at the end of line
when activating an abbrev as the last thing done before newline?

The short and long is: Invoking with spc leaves unsightly marks like
an underscore if done at the end of a line and invoking with <RET> is
not always desirable if a new line is not needed.

I have visions of some tricky way of setting up an abbrev with hardly
any more effort than the normal
M-x edit-abbrevs <RET>
"tru" 0 "\"TRUE\";"
In the cperl-table, then pressing C-c
Where I only need to edit the cperl abbrev table.
Problem results from binding abbrev-expand to SPACE.
Abbrev is expanded, than SPACE is inserted, as you typed it.
Solution: abbrev-mode off. Use any other key to M-x expand-abbrev RET.
This will expand it, but not insert a space.
Thank you.
After looking into this a bit, I'm not seeing a handy way to set
something else permanently.
In fact it appears there are nearly half a dozen ways to invoke
expansion.
space, <RET>, C-x ' (At least two more key combos that I already
forgot)
So there must be a list or regex or something.
