This is definitely not the way directory-abbrev-alist was intended to be
used. `directory-abbrev-alist' should turn a valid filename into another
valid filename, the difference between the two being mostly cosmetic.
E.g. It should be
(("^/very-long-path-here/exe" . "/exe")
instead, or something like that. For shorthands, she can use any number of
other things like environment variables (which *are* expanded by TAB)
or bookmarks.
