I agree; if we get a default year, then everything should get defaults.

However: The Emacs standard for prompting these days is to put the
default into `M-n', isn't it?  The current `calendar-read-date'
requires you to delete the default "2019" if you want another year...

So perhaps that should also be changed, and today's date for all three
questions should be in `M-n'?
