Alas, this doesn't solve the case I illustrated, since I want to  
eliminate extra whitespace from the middle of the line, rather than  
fix whitespace at the beginning.

I think I may need to disable the global abbrev mode and rebind SPC to  
(self-insert-command) (and (expand-abbrev) (just-one-space)).

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
