There were two problems with the original implementation:
1. It changed the behavior of insert-abbrev-table-description when
READABLE is nil to sometimes insert one Emacs Lisp expression and
sometimes insert nothing.
2. It broke the tests.
This commit reworks this so that insert-abbrev-table-description
always inserts an expressions even if no abbrevs need to be saved and
making only write-abbrev-file check that a table has any abbrevs to
save before calling insert-abbrev-table-description. This duplicates
the work of filtering the table for savable abbrevs, but the benefit
of keeping the API is worth it.
* doc/lispref/abbrevs.texi (Abbrev Tables): Update documentation.
* lisp/abbrev.el (write-abbrev-file): Skip tables without user abbrevs
(insert-abbrev-table-description): Always insert the define
expression.
(abbrev--table-symbols): New function.
* test/lisp/abbrev-tests.el (abbrev--table-symbols-test):
Add test for abbrev--table-symbols.
