As being a heavy abbrevs-user, here my collection of emacs-lisp abbrevs
defined:


Certainly, if you assemble a list manually that is more personal.
My idea was to assemble an abbrev list automatically, because
adding an abbrev for everything manually is cumbersome.

It may be more efficient to start from an automatic list and
make it more personal, than starting from scratch and adding
everything manually.





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.
