Description

Since reedline now supports fish-like abbreviations and those bring additional value (editable, works with completions) to simple aliases, why not introduce an abbreviations folder which would evolve in sync with aliases?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing aliases folder and the linked reedline abbreviations documentation. Compare the current alias entries with the supported abbreviation behavior, then determine the intended folder structure and how the two collections should evolve together. Done means an abbreviations folder exists with an agreed set of corresponding entries.
