<code>year</code> represents a year in the Gregorian calendar. It shall represent values
in the range <code>[min(), max()]</code>. It can be constructed with any
<code>int</code> value, which will be subsequently truncated to fit into
<code>year</code>'s internal storage. <code>year</code> is equality and less-than
<code>year</code>'s internal storage. The <code>year</code> prior to <code>year{1}</code>
is <code>year{0}</code>, and is a leap year. The <code>year</code> prior to
<code>year{0}</code> is <code>year{-1}</code>. This is commonly referred to as the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proleptic_Gregorian_calendar">proleptic Gregorian calendar</a>.
<code>year</code> is equality and less-than
comparable, and participates in basic arithmetic with <code>years</code> representing the
quantity between any two <code>year</code>'s. One can form a <code>year</code> literal
with <code>_y</code>. And one can stream out a <code>year</code> for debugging purposes.
