Sure, finally it's a matter of personal habits.
As said, your project is interesting and once pondered to realize it in a simialar way.

However, abandoned that path.
Beside the reason given: there is the need remember abbrevs - unless it's useless.
When defining it manually, you will give a mnemonic abbrev, which presents itself maybe.

Apropos cumbersome: there are ways to make that task easier.
