for hdate_get_int_string_ and hdate_get_int_wstring Note:

How large should the buffer be? Hebrew year 10,999 would be י'תתקצ"ט, eight characters, each two bytes, plus an end-of-string delimiter, equals 17. This could effectively yield a range extending to Hebrew year 11,899, י'א תתצ'ט, due to the extra ק needed for the '900' century. However, for readability, I would want a an extra space at that point between the millenium and the century...
