Maybe some context: I think some people, at least me, use abbrev mode to
properly capitalize words with unique casing, needs not met by regular
capitalization rules. It means abbrev keys and values sometimes contain
the same word but with different casing. That's why I want nothing to
happen when the user writes a word with the right casing, making an
abbrev expansion unnecessary.

I think even simpler: make sure abbrev insertion only works when the
input word is strictly (case sensitive) different than the expansion
word; leave everything else as is.

Example: with a rule like "foobarical -> fooBarical" then 

Foobarical -> FooBarical (as is today)
FOOBARICAL -> FOOBARICAL (as is today)

but fooBarical -> fooBarical, because it's already what we want.

I guess there's a place for a new defcustom, under which no
case-conversion will happen at abbrev expansion time, ever.  Is that
what you want?  That is, if you have an abbrev foo -> foobarical, then
typing "Foo" or "FOO" will produce a literal "foobarical", each and
every time?

I would expect *nothing* to happen; abbrev is key-value mapping; 
you
write a key and it replaces it with a value. If you write a word 
that
is not a key, you expect nothing to happen. In this case, the word 
is
one of the values, and suddenly something happens, unexpectedly. I
know realize that words are compared with keys ignoring the case, 
but
using the case in the expansion. Still, if a user writes a word
identical to one the abbrev "keys", I would expect abbrev to leave 
it
as is. 

Thanks, 

Daniel

What you see is the documented behavior: by default, if the abbrev was
triggered by a word that has some upper-case letters in it, Emacs
capitalizes the first letter of every word in the expansion (you can
optionally set abbrev-all-caps non-nil to up-case all the letters in
the expansion).  In your case, capitalizing the first letter of "aBC"
yields "ABC", and that's what you see.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Recipe for recreating:

- Add some abbrev definition with mixed capitalization, e.g. "abc"
should expand to "aBC".
- Enable abbrev-mode. 
- Write "aBC".
- Upon pressing space, abbrev-mode converts it into "ABC". 

There is a code section in `abbrev-insert' that explicitly capitalizes
the first letter; I'm sure it's there for a reason but I think the
behavior I showed is unexpected. As for the example "aBC", there are
real use cases, just to mention one "iPhone".
