I'm inclined not to clutter up an already busy manual page by spelling
this out any simpler than it is already described. The definition of %G
already says that alternate prior/subsequent years may be returned *and*
makes reference to the difinition of %V which defines precisely how ISO
years are defined. It also references %Y as an alternate.

Unless others report problems with understanding this manual page as it
is, I'd rather just file this under a user-rtfm problem.
