I like to be able to say that all nnml:auto.* groups are
auto-expirable.  This way, I can put auto-expirable groups in various
topics and I don't have to worry about setting the parameter on each
and every new group (where I think it's appriate).

Just to provide a counter-opinion to yours.  Maybe regexp matching is
useful to some people and thus shouldn't be removed.
