Inside the instance, we will need someplace to store the contained YearRow instances. Because the set of years might have gaps in it, we can use a dictionary whose keys are year numbers.

      State/Invariants:
        .__yearMap:
          [ a dictionary whose keys are the 'yyyy' strings
            of years in self, and each corresponding value
            is a YearRow instance for that year ]
