What sneaks up on me is a lazy iab which on occasion triggers when
I don't want it. Rather than train my fingers to a new (longer) iab, is
there anything to undo the immediately preceding iab expansion?

Backspacing to remove the expansion is fruitless, since the iab is
re-expanded as soon as the spacebar is whacked.

Unfortunately, CTRL-[ is not it, since that merely replicates <Esc>.
(Incidentally, I've mapped <Caps-Lock> to <Esc>, as a cross-application
fix for the distant and tiny <Esc> on laptops, so have no use for
CTRL-[ )
