Characterset for Abbrevation names limited

[Wilmar Igl]

Hi,

sofar it is not possible to use characters other the [a-Z][0-9] as names 
of abbreviations when using <add-global-abbreviation>.
To avoid conflicts with emacs abbreviations and other acronyms used in 
the text I would suggest to allow non-alphabetical/non-number characters 
like, [!"#%&/].
Example: M-x add-global-abbrev RET !myabbr RET

Best,

Will
