Try to format the date as `<MONTH> <YEAR>` to ease search.
- Additionally, include a machine-readable comment of the form `<!-- date:

So, for the month of April 2022, the comment would look like: `As of <!--
date: 2022-04 --> April 2022`. Make sure to put the comment *between* `as of`
and `April 2022`; see [PR #1066][rdg#1066] for the rationale.
We have CI action (in `"~/.github/workflows/date-check.yml"`)
that generates an issue if any of these are over 6 months old.
