This is really stupid, but I just realized that I can use something like

(rx (or space "-" "_" "\n" line-start string-start)
      (group (* (not (or space "-" "_" "\n")))))

for matching, which works. Sorry for overlooking that. So that kind of
lessens the importance of adding an option along the lines I described,
though it might make it less confusing for people wondering why their
abbrevs don't seem to match.
