OK, a new request could be created later on more demand.
Meanwhile, I'm using this short snippet in ~/.emacs:

  (defun wrgrep ()
    "Word-based version of `rgrep'.
  Modifies the grep-find template to add the option `-w' that matches whole words."
    (interactive)
    (let ((grep-host-defaults-alist nil)
          (grep-find-template
           (replace-regexp-in-string "<C>" "-w \\&" grep-find-template)))
      (call-interactively 'rgrep)))
