+// The tie-break is asymmetric by season AND, at class 2, by whether the
+// temporal day is a Sunday or a privileged FERIA:
+// - III/IV class: an ORDINARY feria (per annum, Advent to 16 Dec,
+// Septuagesima) yields to an equal-class feast (entries 24/25 above the
+// feria) -- the feast is celebrated, the feria commemorated (e.g. St
+// Francis Xavier, Dec 3). The ferias of Lent and Passiontide are
+// privileged (entry 22, ABOVE entry 24): they outrank an equal-class
+// feast, which is only commemorated.
+// - II class: an ordinary SUNDAY wins its tie (entry 15, above entry 16's
+// feasts) -- but a II-class privileged FERIA (the Ember days, the
+// late-Advent 17-23 Dec ferias, entry 18) sits BELOW entry 16 and yields
+// to an equal-class feast, the opposite of a Sunday's own tie. This is
+// the same table shape as III class's Advent/per-annum ferias, just
+// inverted for which II-class temporal days count as "privileged".
+// - I class: Sundays (entry 6) and I-class ferias (entry 7, Ash
+// Wednesday/Holy Week) both sit above entry 11's feasts, so they always
+// win -- there is no I-class "ordinary feria yields" case at all.
