I just noticed that while in the :help buffer, :abbr this'is'a'test
gives me "No abbreviations found", and :abbr this'is a test defines an abbreviation from "this'is" to "a test". However, if I try either of those in my editor buffers, I get "E474: Invalid argument". (changing the value of "modifiable" doesn't change the behavior in the main window) Why does this behavior occur?
