     If I implement the era based time algorithm for musl, I'm totally going to make a locale file to test it where the era is called "2020" and the months just go on forever. If that's even representable. If not I guess I'll file a bug on the Austin Group tracker...

     It looks like you can't just make the months go on forever, but you can essentially have this be "the 9th month of the 7th year of 2020" 🙃

     @gabrielesvelto It's called the 2020s because the Cassandras are cursed with perfect vision.

     @dalias we're unlikely to ever leave the twenties. After twenty-twenty nine comes twenty-twenty ten, twenty-twenty eleven and so on

     @dalias ugh, but I don’t know when each of TSwift’s era’s even begin!
