It would be nice to be able to type, say "l bon grain" for "le
bon grain" and yet type "l'ivraie" without having it expand to
"le'ivraie".

A non-id abbreviation for "l'" like
   :inoreab l le
   :inoreab l' l'
doesn't work. Not after white space anyway. (Even though the doc
says "in front of the match is a space, tab or the start of the
line or the insertion".)

A mapping for "l'"
   :inoreab l le
   :inoremap l' l'
seems to work, as long as you type fast enough.

Is there a way that doesn't require two abbreviations/mappings ?
Like a notional "inoreab l [^'] le" ?

Thanks in advance.


Untested:

        :inoreab <expr> l v:char == ' ' ? 'le' : 'l'

Of course you couldn't then type "l bonne avoine" for "la bonne avoine". Vim doesn't (yet ;-) ) know anything about grammatical gender.
