It will be hard to write proper regression tests if you can't
properly specify what you want :-)

Yeah, fixed.

If I understand correctly:

-m 1  gives this years January (which is 2010)
-m 1p gives the previous January (which is 2010)
-m 1f gives the next January (which is 2011)

-m 9  gives this years September (which is 2010)
-m 9p gives the previous September (which is 2009)
-m 9f gives the next September (which is 2010)

And now the tricky one:

-m 3  gives this years March (which is 2010)
-m 3p gives the previous March (which is 2009)
-m 3f gives the next March (which is 2011)
