;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This gives you a chance to get rid of old entries in your Org files
;; by expiring them.
;;
;; By default, entries that have no EXPIRY property are considered to be
;; new (i.e. 0 day old) and only entries older than one year go to the
;; expiry process, which consist in adding the ARCHIVE tag.  None of
;; your tasks will be deleted with the default settings.
;;
;; When does an entry expires?
;;
;; Consider this entry:
;;
;; * Stop watching TV
;;   :PROPERTIES:
;;   :CREATED:  <2008-01-07 lun 08:01>
;;   :EXPIRY:   <2008-01-09 08:01>
;;   :END:
;;
;; This entry will expire on the 9th, january 2008.

;; * Stop watching TV
;;   :PROPERTIES:
;;   :CREATED:  <2008-01-07 lun 08:01>
;;   :EXPIRY:   +1w
;;   :END:
;;
;; This entry will expire on the 14th, january 2008, one week after its
;; creation date.
;;
;; What happen when an entry is expired?  Nothing until you explicitely
;; M-x org-expiry-process-entries When doing this, org-expiry will check
;; for expired entries and request permission to process them.
;;
;; Processing an expired entries means calling the function associated
;; with `org-expiry-handler-function'; the default is to add the tag
;; :ARCHIVE:, but you can also add a EXPIRED keyword or even archive
;; the subtree.
;;
;; Is this useful?  Well, when you're in a brainstorming session, it
;; might be useful to know about the creation date of an entry, and be
;; able to archive those entries that are more than xxx days/weeks old.
;;
;; When you're in such a session, you can insinuate org-expiry like
;; this: M-x org-expiry-insinuate
;;
;; Then, each time you're pressing M-RET to insert an item, the CREATION
;; property will be automatically added.  Same when you're scheduling or
;; deadlining items.  You can deinsinuate: M-x org-expiry-deinsinuate
