Wonderfully elegant and, yes, I'm convinced. :-)
My usual "convince myself" test is something like
$ for y in {2000..2020} ; do cal 1 $y ; done | less
and then spot-check the results. Looking at it with hind-sight,
it's clear that the "Sun Jan 19" is a much more straight-forward way
of expressing it.
Thanks!
