Description

For almost all content elements in TYPO3 you can set start/stop dates in the "access" tab.
But not FAL entries (please close and correct me if I'm wrong).

This would not only be more consistent, but also quite useful:

A simple use case:
Display a list of PDFs in a directory. If a file is expired, don't display it. I understand the link would still be accessible if a public file storage is used, but at least it wouldn't be output. With a non-public storage, it would work flawlessly.

My actual use case:
we display job offerings on the website which expire after a certain amount of time. Each job offering consists of a news entry and a PDF.
The news entry will expire with it's stop date, but the PDF will stay sitting in it's folder. If the editor could set an expiry date when uploading the file, it would be marked as expired and could later on be purged with a scheduler job.
