'--keep-within 3m' would keep anything created in the last three months.
If run daily in your example, it would first prune the oldest monthly.
After a month, it would prune another monthly.  After about another month,
it would prune the last monthly and the oldest weekly.  After another week,
another weekly would get pruned.  After running for a week short of three
months, it would prune the last weekly and start pruning the dailies.  In
other words, it would gradually roll them off.

How does this differ from the new option that you had in mind?
