I suggest you look at `f90-mode-abbrev-table` in `lisp/progmodes/f90.el`
for an example of an abbrev table which does something similar, tho for
a different purpose (using the backquote character instead of the colon
character to start the abbrevs).

Another approach would be to use `completion-at-point-functions`.
