I think making this keybinding generally available will confuse users
who also look at total-expire and auto-expire (those two are confusing
enough alone).  It's easy to write it yourself as a macro or a
function.  I could be wrong, but I need at least one more vote in favor
of this feature to know I'm wrong :)
