While we're at it, would anyone mind if I, as a sperate change, made it so
that if you asked for just some number (cal 3 for instance), you got month
three, as opposed to year 3? I mean how often do we care about 3 AD? If
there was interest, I could also add -y <year no> syntax for those who
really care about 1 AD through 12 AD if there's interest.

Thoughts?

Take care,
