Is there anyway to suppress insertion of the punctuation character
that triggers an abbreviation? I am running a hook that inserts
some characters and I don't want the "trigger character" inserted.
(In goslings emacs, if the abbreviation hook returned nil, the trigger
character is not inserted. This doesn't work for gnu.)
For example in my C++ mode, the user types "while<SPC>", which expands
to (ideally)
while () {
}
with the point between the parens. But I keep getting the <SPC>
inserted, which I don't want.
