How can/does the validation suite test this? You certainly can't change
the O.S. date to 2039! Some compilers (I can't say how many) just use the
O.S. time format for their private Calendar.Time
But of course in 2037, they'll warn us the end of the world is soon, and
in 2039 we'll have forgotten all about it.
