For abbreviations |v:char| is set to the character that was typed to trigger
the abbreviation. You can use this to decide how to expand the {lhs}. You
should not either insert or change the v:char.
+
+Also, keep in mind that the expression may be evaluated when looking for
+typeahead, before the previous command has been executed. For example: >
+ func StoreColumn()
+ let g:column = col('.')
+ return 'x'
+ endfunc
+ nnoremap <expr> x StoreColumn()
+ nmap ! f!x
+You will notice that g:column has the value from before executing "fx",
+because "z" is evaluated before "fx" is executed.
+This can be solved by inserting <Ignore> before the character that is
+expression-mapped: >
+ nmap ! f!<Ignore>x
Be very careful about side effects! The expression is evaluated while
obtaining characters, you may very well make the command dysfunctional.
