That var should re-enable the old behavior if needed.
Just a precausion. Not sure about it.

Please permit some general remark.

First of all I'm happy seeing you tackling the abbrevs issue. Think 
thats a field indead, where Emacs may play it's strength still much more 
than now. Seeing some readiness for a still bigger success.

Have several ideas in the pipe, which I may present you - first one as 
bug-report sent this morning.

Nonetheless keep an eye at the risks of changes.

As Emacs makes changes easy, thats a strength and a weakness alike.
Would assume some time is spent redoing earlier improvements.

Thats normal, however let's minimise these losses.

Thats all

Cheers
