Well, since you asked, the year type of Calendar has a **much** too
restricted range. Saving space by restricting the size of the year that
way reminds me of all of the programs that stored only two digits for
their year in the '60s, and now their descendants are delighting
everyone.
To be fair, the Ada year type would throw an exception, but that merely
means that it warns me that it is unusable.
