So obvious, now you point it out.  :-)

Done.  I'm not sure what the default should be if a group's
not in expire.dat and there's no [default] line.  0?  -1?.

Needs an 'expiry_display' option in the .rc, perhaps.

Any interest in this for the imminent 1.31, Malcolm?
The code does take up some space, so all the usual
