The locale is normally used at the user interface, while #dayOfWeek
seems like an non-UI method. So I would think #dayOfWeek should be left
alone. Nice Internationalized applications will not simply dump
#dayOfWeek up to the user.
It would be nice to have a routine that counts weeks in the other way,
but it doesn't have to be this exact routine.
