Construct a gYear value from an item value.
xs:gYear(item $value) => gYear
This is a constructor function that takes an item value as argument and
returns a value of type xs:gYear. If the argument is a literal,
then the literal must be a valid lexical form of its type.
As specified in the respective section of the W3C recommendation
XML
Schema Part 2: Datatypes, a value of type xs:gYear
represents a whole Gregorian year as defined in ISO 8601. The lexical form is
CCYY, where "CC" represents the century and
"YY" represents the year. You can use more digits in
order to represent years outside the range 0000-9999, and you can also prepend
a minus sign. You can also append an optional time zone identifier.
