Re:
Although current_year - 28 always works, there's usually one other year
more recent than that that will be a calendar match for the current year.
In this case, 2005 is indeed a match for 2011. Prove for yourself:
cal 2005 > foo.2005
cal 2011 > foo.2011
diff foo.2005 foo.2011
2012 has no later match than 1984, but 2013 has a match of 2002,
and 2014 matches 2003.

Or at least my
BeBox does: the Time control panel won't let me enter
the year 2011. I set it to 2005 since that was the calendar match.
Technically, of course, the calendar match for 2011 is 1983. 28 year
cycle, you know.
