Q: Abbreviations, but only at beginning of line

I just wasted an hour searching for a way to create an iabbrev that triggers only at beggining of line.

Say I want to convert a '===' to a '/*====================*/, but if and only if the === was typed at the start of its own line.

Is that even possible?

how's this:

:iabbrev <expr> === getline('.')[0:2] == '===' ? '/*====================*/' : '==='
