Hi Vincent,
An abbreviation cannot begin with a non-keyword character and end in more than
one keyword character, thus <method is illegal, as is !method or %method, etc.
This is true, but OTOH, one can include '<' character into 'isk' option
which then makes ':iabbrev <xyz...' legal.
For example, vimhelp buffers has isk defines such that
it includes < character. This explains why ':iabbrev <method ...'
worked for me; I tried it in the vimhelp buffer windows.
Maybe try ':iabbrev <method> ...' instead.
Do you mean ':imap' here ? Indeed, :imap is worthwile
substitute for :iabbr when :iabbr can't be used.
