Sounds like a handy feature if implemented in a nicer manner (i.e. use a
explicit option keyword instead of magic values).

I agree with this, and this is why I don't like the current (1.1.22,
1.2b22) refresh_pattern behaviour. It was to easy to override Expires:
without being aware that this is a protocol violation (or even that it
is overridden)
