Cut off interval output at the given year(s).
Cutoff times are computed using the proleptic Gregorian calendar with year 0
and with Universal Time (UT) ignoring leap seconds.
-The lower bound is exclusive and the upper is inclusive; for example, a
-.I loyear
-of 1970 excludes a transition occurring at 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC but a
-.I hiyear
-of 1970 includes the transition.
+Cutoffs are at the start of each year, where the lower-bound
+timestamp is exclusive and the upper is inclusive; for example,
+.B "\*-c 1970,2070"
+selects transitions after 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
+and on or before 2070-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
The default cutoff is
