I have only one single problem with abbrev inheritance and it is right
above.  There is work to be done.  It would have to be done reasonably
quickly, because the current copying system is badly broken.  I am
actually even more worried about all the "obvious things" than about the
basic problem itself.  Whenever one thinks one has taken care of all
"obvious things" one notices another one that should have been obvious
but that one forgot about anyway.  And then yet another...

Stefan is not volunteering.  I definitely am not either.

Sincerely,

Luc.
