    BTW, the code actually handles :case-preserve both on individual abbrevs and
    on abbrev-tables.

In that case, let's just make sure to document that it does.

    I think I've changed my mind on this: instead of :syntax-table, I want to
    use :regexp where I can specify that my abbrevs can match anything else than
    a word.  This works as well for python.el and mailabbrev.el and is
    more general.

I don't object.
