Is it possible to abbreviate multiple words. For example to enter a

:inoremap by<space>using using
Speaking of horrible hacks, I think this one is conceptually worse,
but it doesn't have most of the drawbacks of using a map.
iabbr <expr> using (search('by\_s*using\%#', 'bcW') == 0 ? "using" :
"\<Esc>bcwusing\<Esc>ls")

Like obfuscated C contests, that mapping is art, but a bit
impenetrable like modern art. :)
