There are two solutions here. The first is, as has been suggested, include these as "decorations" e.g. !roll-types!; that could be added into the standard right now. Then alias them with one of the letters H--Z for use in the abc itself. This might be generally useful, since I gather that these also occur as tremolo markers in string music.
