These functions define an abbrev in a specified abbrev table.
@code{define-abbrev} is the low-level basic function, while
@code{add-abbrev} is used by commands that ask for information from the

@code{add-abbrev} is used by commands that ask for information from
the user. When major modes predefine standard abbrevs, they should
call @code{define-abbrev} and specify @code{t} for @var{system-flag}.

If @var{system-flag} is non-@code{nil}, that marks the abbrev as a

Normally the function @code{define-abbrev} sets the variable
@code{abbrevs-changed} to @code{t}. But if @var{system-flag} is
non-@code{nil}, that says the abbrev is a ``system'' abbrev. In that
case, @code{define-abbrev} does not alter @code{abbrevs-changed}.
Instead it marks the abbrev as a ``system'' abbrev with the

(This is so that some commands will offer to save the abbrevs.) It
does not do this for a ``system'' abbrev, since those won't be saved
anyway.
