There is no other word for it: naff.
It may have had a use 16+ years ago to make dd/mm/yy (ie a two digit year) a tad easier to print, but that has long since gone.
I think it is time to bite the bullet and say that date() returns the actual year, not minus 1900.
Yes, it will break some legacy code, but really if you see dd/mm/3915 you will instantly know precisely what is going on.
As it stands it marks out euphoria as some kind of inexplicably not yet extinct dinosaur.
Any other thoughts?
