+*   Add purpose and expiry support to `MessageVerifier` & `MessageEncryptor`.
+
+    Messages generated using `MessageVerifier` and `MessageEncryptor` now
+    support expiry and purpose. You can set the purpose of the message using
+    the key :purpose, and likewise, the expiration using :expires_at or :expires_in.
+
+    This ensures that the message is used only for its intended purpose and also
+    while it hasn't expired.
+
+    For instance, to ensure a message is only usable for one intended purpose:
+
+        token = @verifier.generate("x", purpose: :shipping)
+
+        @verifier.verified(token, purpose: :shipping) # => "x"
+        @verifier.verified(token)                     # => nil
+
+    Or make it expire after a set time:
+
+        @verifier.generate("x", expires_in: 1.month)
+        @verifier.generate("y", expires_at: Time.now.end_of_year)
+
+    Showcased with `ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier`, but works the same for
+    `ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor`'s `encrypt_and_sign` and `decrypt_and_verify`.

 *   Make the order of `Hash#reverse_merge!` consistent with `HashWithIndifferentAccess`.
