Something like this could be added, but I don't see
the reason, because I think the elisp sources are
fairly representative of the usage frequency of symbols.
I'm pretty sure most people use goto-char more often
than garbage-collect.
The aim was to provide a very convenient way to type
the most frequent symbols. For the less frequent one
you always have some kind of completion.
I was tired of typing save-exursion, etc. all the time
and while I use completion (company) for elisp symbols
it's still cumbersome to type for the most frequent
symbols while typing simply 'se' is very convenient.

There was one problematic abbrev I found when I tried
it 'if' which mapped to some lesser used function, don't
remember which, so I deleted it manually.
Otherwise, the abbrevs are surprisingly unique and
didn't interfere with normal typing, though I haven't
tested it extensively.
