Well, I think I've used abbreviation-add-global...

...because I've certainly added abbreviations this way on the fly.

Agree 100%, wasn't aware there was some bifurcation in the
implementation there.  Like I say, I've used (I assume)
abbreviation-add-global to create a temporary abbreviation (like the
joke says, why is abbreviation such a long word?) but none of the
read/write machinery to make it permanent, don't know how that works
vs. additions to @data nodes.
