Surely you mean do a case-sensitive search first and then insensitive?
Obviously the sensitive one can't work if the insensitive one fails. Then
you go on to say that "FOO" could only be -different- if there is nothing
than which to be different; instead we want to say "`FOO' can only expand
as upcased `foo' if `FOO' is not its own abbrev", right?
I'm not trying to be needlessly pedantic; rather I think what you probably
meant to say made significantly more sense as a path forward than what you
did say and so deserves consideration.
