vi 'ab' command bug
       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.
