I'm not suggesting to implement
`abbrev-get-active-expansions` differently.
I'm suggesting to implement something else.  I.e.

    (defmacro abbrev-do-active-expansions (VAR &rest BODY)
      "Bind VAR to an active expansion and run BODY with it.
    Repeat it for all active expansions."
      ...)

or

    (defun abbrev-mapc-active-expansions (FUNC)
      "Call FUNC on each active expansion."

This way you don't need to build a list of active expansions: you run
FUNC or BODY on each expansion when you encounter it.
