Yeah, that's how I expected it to be done.

Problematic. There is a small bit of influence possible: the `c' is
inside macro (\maybeyear) that could be redefined (nullified), but
that is a document-global solution, and it may not even work too well
at that. It's been a long time since I looked at this problem. It is
not totally unsolvable, but definately not simple either.

Best,
