Probably, but as a command you'd manually have to invoke to get the 
results -- of course you could always change e.g. return to call the 
command and then insert a return, to get it called for each new line 
you write.

Yes, that'd be possible with input patterns, although it'd need to be a 
bundle with a bunch of macros, one for each abbrev with the abbrev + 
e.g. \W (non-word character) as input pattern and the actual item a 
macro that goes back and changes the typed abbrev. This could of course 
be auto-generated from a list, but there's likely going to be a more 
elegant alternative in the future (which comes after the future in 
which input patterns are implemented, which is a nearer future ;) ).
