A facility to let users specify text replacements to be done on-the-fly as you type. It should be similar to what the abbrevs do, just extended to handle non word-constituent characters, including punctuation and symbols. For example, replacing -- with the em-dash character — or 1/2 with ½ or (C) with © or <== with ←.
