merge "119.iso8601 cycling" to master, for cylc-6

:guitar: for those about to rock ... :bomb: :boom:  **cylc-6**

addresses #119 
 
(there are still some details to attend to before hitting the *merge* button ... but let the review begin)
For style consistency, I think this should be:
`n_chosen += 1`
And similarly for each of the below.
