Comment:

 I like the idea of storing some small number of date changes in post meta,
 and only performing the redirect if the post has an old matching date. It
 seems like the least magic option.

 We can offer some level of customization by allowing the number of dates
 store to be configurable (`__return_zero` would disable completely)
