`yQQQQ` (`QQQQ y`)

Spelled-out ordinal quarter + year, fancy quarter behavior:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 1st quarter 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 4th quarter 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 3rd quarter -10

`yw-count-one` (`'week' w 'of' Y`)

The count-one week branch, with 'week', w, 'of', and Y:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = week 37 of -10

`yw-count-other` (`'week' w 'of' Y`)

The count-other week branch — same exact receipts, no cap:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = week 37 of -10
