This is not what I intended to convey. While a time expression that is
pleasingly simple in implementation and powerful in application would be an
interesting change in its own right,  I was suggesting you'd have to write
your own "out of band" deleter. I was suggesting that WAL-E could be a
better subroutine of an ad-hoc program you'd write to get the retention
policy you would want, with room for modification.
