Components only need to be set twice if you start with 'current date',
because to cover all eventualities, that date needs to be changed to
something safe first. If you start with a compiled safe date — say the
first day of a 31-day month in a leap year (which I didn't think of when
I posted yesterday) — you can set the components, once each, in any order
you like.
