This would still not work. What if a line inside the abbreviation would 
require indentation/de-indentation? An abbreviation can be several 
lines long. And not talking about the fact that we don't even know  
(well we know, but only for Katepart, and other editors might be used):
- if tabs or spaces should be used
- if 2/4/6/8 spaces should be used
- if the user's chosen indentation will match our guess

The only *real* solution would be to feed the string to the editor and 
let it do the job.
