Hm, then this probably shouldn't be the first example on the wiki. Or it
will fear away new users.

pabbrev is really very fast and impressive ! And its interface is nice,
SPC as normal, TAB for completing/cycling candicates. This way pabbrev
does its best not to interfere normal typing.
In contrast, in predictive-mode, SPC does the completing, which makes it
rather diffcult for blindly typing, i.e., fast typing.
