We can't *add* 1990 to the set of years - for example, we can't turn years 
1989, 1991, 2011, 2012 into 1989-2012 (it can be 1989, 1991-2012).

We *can* put 1990 in a range if already listed.  For example, 1990, 2012 
can become 1990-2012 (the years *added* are all 1991 and later, and 1991 
is a copyrightable year for the package).
