I'm for changing everything to turns. Even in the user interface. So
if both are given in turns it may first confuse players but it is the
right thing to do. In another calendar which may not have the same
mapping from turn to year the knowledge of "-2000 is a good value for
onsetbarbs" is useless. However the knowledge of "total turns/10 is a
good value for onsetbarbs" or "20 is a good value for onsetbarbs"
holds its value.
