I wonder if it would be feasible to make it so that certain abbreviations can be limited to certain categories? For example, by specifying `CA,California,US politics` and `CA,Canada,International politics` CA would be abbrified differently in the Categories US politics and International Politics.

Oh, and it would also be great if the detection of acronyms could be context sensitive (to avoid false positives when an abbreviation also exists as a word in ordinary language).
