The Record consists of four Fields named scheme, year,

unshift.
The unshift field holds the historical year as calculated by the underlying
Julian calendar.
As a Hybrid calendar, it has no single epoch.

The script makes use of the globally available read-only field wday
to output weekdays.
The "hy" grammar uses the "m" (Julian months) and "w" (Weekdays) lexicons.
