Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/progmodes/idlwave.el.gz
;; CJC 3/16/93
;; Interface to expand-region-abbrevs which did not work when the
;; abbrev hook associated with an abbrev moves point backwards
;; after abbrev expansion, e.g., as with the abbrev '.n'.
;; The original would enter an infinite loop in attempting to expand
;; .n (it would continually expand and unexpand the abbrev without expanding
;; because the point would keep going back to the beginning of the
;; abbrev instead of to the end of the abbrev). We now keep the
;; abbrev hook from moving backwards.
