`define-abbrevs' comes with an option to use case-sensitivabbreviations.
Nice, thanks.
However don't see a way to specify this '(:case-fixed t)froma command.
Neither `add-global-abbrev' nor `add-mode-abbrev' offer a slot.
What about having customizable vars for this, which are taken when set?

Please read `define-abbrev', singular.

It seems `edit-abbrevs' also lacks support for properties: an abbrev
defined with :case-fixed via `define-abbrev' does not show up with an
indicator in the *Abbrevs* buffer, and when saving the propery is
removed.

Thanks for your care. Beside there was also slowness reported - and
still experienced:

Here still an example how the matter showed up:
The abbrev-expansion by default works like this:
tlb -> the london bridge
tLB -> the London Bridge
The limitations are obvious: the abbreviation needs to represent any
word of the expansion text. No way to define:
tLB -> Let's work that afternoon over the London Bridge.

The latter should read
No way to define:
tLB -> Let's work that afternoon over the London Bridge.
and
tlb -> Something interesting too
in parallel
