One way to integrate this kind of feature would be into the cycling completion (typically controlled by completion-cycle-threshold, tho in the minibuffer you can also trigger it explicitly via minibuffer-force-complete and similar command should be provided alongside completion-at-point). If you use the `initials' completion style, "wcb" will match "with-current-buffer" (along with various others), so if we add a good sorting based on known usage frequency (as suggested by the OP), the cycling completion will behave very similarly to his abbrevs. Stefan
