   By email, but apparently not in the newsgroup, Janis Papanagnou alerts   
   me to the issue being the - seperator:   
      
      2025-11-17  >> ctrl-a (on the "1" in 17) >> 2025-11-16   
      
   Whereas I had been thinking of the 07 to 10 issue in months and days.   
      
   There's indeed a fix for these - separated dates, if you use them   
   regularly:   
      
   set nrformats=unsigned   
      
      2025-11-17  >> ctrl-a (on the "1" in 17) >> 2025-11-18
