Something like Hairpin.to-barline?

    (to-barline ,boolean? "If true, the spanner will stop at the bar
     line just before it would otherwise stop.")

I guess you would want a slur always to expand, not just to shift "before."

Even so, slurs don't currently respect it.

```
\version "2.26.0"

  {
    \override Voice.Hairpin.color = #red
    \override Voice.Hairpin.to-barline = ##t
    \override Voice.PhrasingSlur.color = #red
    \override Voice.PhrasingSlur.to-barline = ##t
    \override Voice.Slur.color = #red
    \override Voice.Slur.to-barline = ##t
    c''4(\(\< 4 4 4 | \grace \hide r8)\)\!
  }
  \\
  {
    \override Voice.Hairpin.color = #blue
    \override Voice.Hairpin.to-barline = ##f
    \override Voice.PhrasingSlur.color = #blue
    \override Voice.PhrasingSlur.to-barline = ##f
    \override Voice.Slur.color = #blue
    \override Voice.Slur.to-barline = ##f
    a'4(\(\< 4 4 4 | \grace \hide r8)\)\!
  }
