Abbreviations that depend on the following character

It would be nice to be able to type, say "l bon grain" for "le
bon grain" and yet type "l'ivraie" without having it expand to
"le'ivraie".

A non-id abbreviation for "l'" like
:inoreab l le
:inoreab l' l'
doesn't work. Not after white space anyway. (Even though the doc
says "in front of the match is a space, tab or the start of the
line or the insertion".)

A mapping for "l'"
:inoreab l le
:inoremap l' l'
seems to work, as long as you type fast enough.

Is there a way that doesn't require two abbreviations/mappings ?
Like a notional "inoreab l [^'] le" ?

Thanks in advance.
