Perfect. That's what I expect from a "2 digits" option: it should not
touch 3 (100..999) or 4 digits digits (>= 1000).

Remember that the "2 digit option" is a hack to workaround the y2k bug.
It is maybe time to try to remove the workaround: disable accept2dyear
by default and remove PYTHONY2K env var.
