This particular subset of bugs, for years 0-9999, was fixed in the
upstream SRFI-19 reference implementation, and so I included the same
fix in commit 5106377a3460e1e35daf14ea6edbe80426347155.  That fix pads
the year to have at least 4 characters with the requested padding
character (0 by default).  However, it does not handle adding the sign
where mandated by ISO 8601.

As with your related bug <https://bugs.gnu.org/21903>, I think this bug
should be reported to upstream SRFI-19, and hopefully they will take it
seriously.  I'm reluctant to have Guile deviate from most (all?) other
SRFI-19 implementations in this respect.

There's also the issue that 'string->date' would need to be fixed to
successfully parse the years as printed by 'date->string'.

Would you like to report these issues to upstream SRFI-19?

       Mark
