Documentation
Companion to {{Excerpt}}, for shortening parenthetical birth-death strings to just years. Typical usage addresses excerpting the lead of a biographical article in which the lead sentence contains such a parenthetical expression.
Usage

Parameters
There is one required positional parameter, consisting of a string which contains a parenthetical expression with a birth and death year separated by a dash, with optional text before and after it. I.e., of the form: "Socrates (pronunciation; Month day, YYYY – Month day YYYY) was a man."

- If the person was born before 1000, there is no match on birth year, and it returns the string passed in param 1.
