Correct, the full suggestion was:
<C-C>ciW<C-R>-<C-]>
Note the '-' after the <C-R>, to insert the contents of the '-' register *as if
typed*.
I actually tested this in a mapping and saw it working, I wasn't sure myself
whether it would :-)
Your suggestion using a paste doesn't work, because abbreviations only expand
on typed text, not on existing text. This is intentional, to allow you a method
to actually type the text of an abbreviation when you don't want to expand it.
