Words defined using the 'ab' command are expanded in both
input and command modes of vi. Thus, for example, if you
say
:ab q Qume Corp
and later say
:q!
then this is translated to
:Qume Corp!
leading to an error message. This may be considered a bug
or a feature depending on your point of view. I would like
vi changed so expansions only happen in insert mode.
