Thanks.
The format of that buffer is very specific, though. The entries must be
on the format:
(global-abbrev-table)
"def" 0 "definition"
with one blank line between the name of the section and the start of the
definitions; neither more nor less. If you do it that way, does the
mode work for you?
In any case, I don't quite see why it's that strict about the format: It
should just grok all the lines between the sections, I think?
