Abolish does not work as expected

I just tried the following abbreviation with Tim Pope's Abolish-Plugin:

:Abolish and AND

What I expect is:

and changes to AND
And changes to AND

The first one works, the latter one does not; 'And' stays 'And'.

Any ideas?

I use the latest Version of the Plugin.

I think you are misinterpreting what Abolish does for you.

:Abolish and AND

is equivalent to having the following abbreviations (you can check this by looking at the output of :iabbrev)

iabbrev  AND AND
iabbrev  and AND
iabbrev  And And

Abolish gives you mapping that turn all lowercase into the right hand side. All uppercase into the Uppercase version of the right hand side. And a mapping for the when the left hand side has the only the first letter capitalized. (like you are typing a sentence).

I am not sure if there is a way to get what you want from Abolish.
