@section Defining Abbrevs
  @code{define-abbrev} is the low-level basic function for defining an
abbrev in a specified abbrev table.  When major modes predefine
standard abbrevs, they should call @code{define-abbrev} and specify
@code{t} for @var{system-flag}.

@defun define-abbrev table name expansion &optional hook count system-flag
This function defines an abbrev named @var{name}, in @var{table}, to
expand to @var{expansion} and call @var{hook}.  The return value is
@var{name}.

  @code{define-abbrev} is the low-level basic function for defining an
abbrev in a specified abbrev table.  When major modes predefine standard
abbrevs, they should call @code{define-abbrev} and specify @code{t} for
@var{system-flag}.  Be aware that any saved non-``system'' abbrevs are
restored at startup, i.e. before some major modes are loaded.  Major modes
should therefore not assume that when they are first loaded their abbrev
tables are empty.
