Duh, sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention. I'll think about
it...
The difficulty is this: with quarterly or monthly data there's no
possible confusion between the alternate forms of identifying
observations: "obs=1975:4" versus "obs=3", for example. But with
annual data confusion is possible. But I'll consider it some more.
