(Defining Abbrevs): Mention `define-abbrev' 'force value for system-flag argument.

inhibits insertion of the character.  By contrast, if @var{hook}
returns @code{nil}, @code{expand-abbrev} also returns @code{nil}, as
if expansion had not really occurred.

If @var{system-flag} is non-@code{nil}, that marks the abbrev as a
``system'' abbrev with the @code{system-type} property.

Normally the function @code{define-abbrev} sets the variable
@code{abbrevs-changed} to @code{t}, if it actually changes the abbrev.
(This is so that some commands will offer to save the abbrevs.)  It
does not do this for a ``system'' abbrev, since those won't be saved

If @var{system-flag} is non-@code{nil}, that marks the abbrev as a

@var{system-flag} has the value @code{force}, a ``system'' abbrev will
not overwrite an existing definition for a non-``system'' abbrev of the
same name.

@code{abbrevs-changed} to @code{t}, if it actually changes the abbrev.
