This is a very good patch, fixing an issue I also do have currently.

I totally agree.
At first, I could not follow Feng Shu's explanation because I
thought that some (meta-) data gets expired after a certain period
of time. But then I realized that he meant that these things expired
in the past.
>From the user point of view, I also do think that renaming the
property from :EXPIRE: to :IGNORE: would be better in terms of
understanding its purpose and how it works.
(If you do tend to keep the wording, I would at least rename it to
:EXPIRED: which emphasizes the fact that these things expired in the
past.)
