I agree that Leo abbreviations are one of if not the most powerful
"snippet" implementations I've ever seen.
I also just learned about @outline-data tree-abbreviations which can
actually insert whole nodes and subtrees!
I've pushed for abbreviations to be more on by default but I backed off
with Edward and Terry citing (legitimate) security concerns. With great
power comes great responsibility I guess. Hiding that power just a little
bit seems... necessary.
