Calendar utility function: Improvement request

Hi,

I just tried to typeset a calendar.  AFAICS, the calendar libary would be even 
10 times better if \pgfcalendardatetojulian would not only accept a fixed 
offset behind the '+', but a weekday-dependent offset.

For example, I could specify to render a calendar sheet not starting with the 
first of the month, but with a complete line showing some days from the month 
before, if it was possible to say e.g. 2009-01-01<{Monday} (meaning it should 
go back to the previous monday.

The same feature could be used to specify holidays, e.g. 2009-24-12<{Sunday} 
to mean the fourth advent Sunday (in Germany, if that matters).

Also, a repeating appointment that happens on every second tuesday of each 
month could be specified e.g. using 2009-04-01>2{Tuesday}.

The syntax would be open for discussion, I just noticed that the above would 
be quite readable, but maybe you find something better.

Have a nice day,
  Hans
