I just discovered that there is indeed a to-barline property for all 
spanner objects.
For example, you can do

\relative c'{
\set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'bracket
\override Staff.PianoPedalBracket #'to-barline = ##t
c \< \sustainDown d e f |
g1 \! \sustainUp   |
}


I didn't manage to make it work with TextSpanners, though. :-(
