Hi David,

I like your patch better than mine (bug 24559) but I do think we should support
uncertain dates and ranges in these fields as they do meet MARC standards.

195u isn't exactly 1950, but if looking for a range from 1940-1960 I would
expect it to return so I think indexing as 1950 is reasonable

In testing your code did not work with dates like c1964

I added tests and made some adjustment. The array stuff may need work,
depending on if we would support being a year field and having non-filing
characters, but I can't see a reason to do that.

Please let me know what you think of these patches.

-Nick
