I'm quite relaxed about including dropped-を constructions - anything (within reason) to help people, and there's always the text-glossing activities. Yes, I think we'd class it as an expression.

nikk has 年食い, though not 年食う
  Comments:
i've never been sure about including を-dropped forms.  at some point you have to expect readers to be able to know what to look up.  should this still be marked exp?

  Comments:
do we really need to include an を-dropped version of 年(と
し)を食う? the chiebukuro referenced says that "歳" is also 
read as とし here, not さい
