If this is all inconvenient for what you are doing or anyway for completeness of control I maybe could make -e available with -p and make it purge all stamps (or those matched by the optional -j pattern) as if they were originally given expiry period given with -e. Ie the -p flag given with -e overrides the one given with -cd. 
===================

so, if that were implemented, then i could expire spent stamps after X days?

but for now, if i understand this correctly, a purge will get rid of spent stamps only after they're expired; this is determined at the time they're spent, using the "-e" option; and by default stamps older than 2419200s (28d) will be purged.

where does the 2d grace period come into play when expiring spent stamps?
