Where can one read about how to use `expiry-target'?

Can it be used in Group Params?  If so does one set the variable to
something besides default first?  

If user wants to use the expiry-target fucntion on a specific group,
how is this accomplished?

Is it as easy as suggested in  Hrvoje Niksic's post?

Message-ID: <dpn1mpow1q.fsf@mraz.iskon.hr>

Something like:

((total-expire . t)
 (expiry-wait . 1)
 (expiry-target . "nnml:oldmisc"))

This isn't working for me. 


Lars response to Hrvoje indicates it is implimented  in 5.8.5  but I
find no directions for it in 5.8.7.
