If an option like "-3" is to provide a display of "3" months then it
should be:  a) generalized for "-N" where "N" is any reasonable integer;
and b) be a window around the current month, not just the previous or
next 'N' months.

(I too have almost from the day I encountered 'cal' way back when wanted
a way to get just a few "current" months and not the whole year or just
the current month.  However I have almost always wanted the previous
month, the current one, and the next month, and rarely, if ever, two
previous _or_ two next months.)
