Assuming an absolute number is not really intuitive when it comes to a
negative number here, while counting backward feels more natural, so I
would vote for making -1 be December, -2 November, etc.

Let's also make the tests more extended.  I would suggest a single
query with generate_series() from say -12 to 12, that checks the
output of both RM and rm for the full range of values supported by
tm_mon.
