Re: abbrev-prefix-mark not working correctly (PR#1604)
This doesn't work correctly in 21.2.45, either.
Note the recipe isn't quite accurate, that's C-x a g to add the
abbrev, and you need to put in some white space to expand the
first "cnst".

The example given in the XEmacs user's manual does not work
correctly. The
following sequence of keystrokes gives incorrect results (this can be done in
the *scratch* buffer):
1. M-x abbrev-mode
2. type the word construction, M-x a g to add the abbreviation `cnst' for it
3. type c n s t SPACE -- everything goes as planned
3. type r e M-' (abbrev-prefix-mark) c n s t SPACE -- nothing happens
This example was taken from the section "Controlling Abbrev Expansion".
The example works correctly in GNU Emacs. It does not work for me in 20.4,
