Week-year based properties fail on calendar-maximal years #197
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a LocalDate late in the largest year supported by a calendar
2. Ask for the WeekYear
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should give the right year. Instead, it will throw an exception when it
tries to check whether the date is actually in the next week-year.
Fundamentally we have a problem around maximum/minimum years, as they won't
necessarily align. We can say we support everything in the last calendar year,
but we'd potentially need to increase the maximum week-year, and just not
support everything in that.
(Also, we're not very good at spotting that we've gone outside the bounds of
the largest year. We should potentially validate against a min/max LocalInstant
every time we create a new LocalDate/LocalDateTime.)
