Euphoria Ticket #857: non-gregorian dates in EUPHORIA

The date command in EUPHORIA famously returns the year as the number of years since 1900. This is one of EUPHORIA's builtin warts. Every routine that returns or accepts a year should be documented on whether they use gregorian dates (where the year > 2000) or this COBOL style year where the year is only > 100.

What?!

Why is this an issue?

Are there any library routines that mislead (through lack of documentation) what to expect as a year value?

I didn't find any. The docs are good. Except for the last one about diff but that is not a year issue.
