Bug #4703: Give abbrev a brief rdoc summary (patch included)

• Status: Rejected

Would be nice to get a one-line summary of abbrev via it's rdoc page. This patch adds that.

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

Looks like abbrev already has a short one-line description but it's obscured. I applied this patch instead:
