Hi Suvayu,

I’ve had on my list of rainy day ideas for a while writing a function
for org-export-filter-plain-text-functions that would implement
something like this.  It should be as simple as doing a text replace,
either on “. [^ ]” sequences in general or only spaces after a given
list of abbreviations.  The advantage of the second approach is that it
could catch the case where “e.g.” is at the end of a line in the org
document.  (You’d also have to remove the newline: translate “e.g.\nfoo”
into “e.g.\ foo”).  Another advantage to pre-specifying is that you might
want a non-breaking space in “Fig.~1” but a breakable space in “e.g.\ foo”;
so you could keep two lists.
