So now we are taking about the "N calendar UNITS" part, when that part means
a large number of years. I think this format:
"50 calendar Myears since 1980-01-01"
is the best one. The word "calendar" is useful to make clear it is not udunits
years. Also, it's good to have a reference explicitly. For example, "before
present" sometimes means before 1950, and it's nice to have that spelled out.
I think this form is the best representation as well.
