expires(x, Date, expired = TRUE, silent = FALSE, ...)Can be a Date or character string.  When expires is a 
vector, the retuned value will be one of the two values of expires 
that are closest to Date. (which one will be determined by the value 
of expired)
TRUE/FALSE. This determines which date will be used when
expires is a vector.  If expired is TRUE the date 
returned will be the last one before Date.  If expired is 
FALSE the first one after Date will be returned. Note that
if expires is a single value, expired will be ignored.
