Looks good. It makes the date class seem more "complete" and should be

they're
writing for Tiger or later, of course.
For people who prefer weeks starting on Mondays, there's:
((myDate's weekday as integer) - 8) mod 7 + 7
... or:
(myDate - (date "Monday, 6 January 1000 00:00:00")) mod weeks div
days
+ 1
... or even, I suppose:
item (myDate's weekday as integer) of {7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
And there I was Nigel, thinking that - with all these juicy new
built-in functions and fixes - there'd be nothing left for you to
tinker with in the dates department... ;-)
