In terms of the user interface, this is partly true. To allow this to happen, however, there is a big difference -- pabbrev does all of it's work, checking for possible expansions in the idle cycle. Expansions are offered between invocation of self-insert-command. pabbrev does a relatively quick hash look up at this time. Most of the hippie-expand methods are too slow for this. I can hit 5 keys a second -- dynamic abbreviation cannot run that fast, particularly not across multiple buffers.
