MO(0) shouldn't be used as it makes no sense, but is the same as MO(+1) which is the same as MO(1).

So there is a hole at 0. Something about that smells wrong. If you discover what, please tell me. :-)

The current version feels odd to me as well.

I would naturally interpret it along the lines of: MO = MO(0) = this Monday = today, or the nearest Monday in the future.

Then MO(+1) would be the next Monday after MO(0). In other words, the parameter becomes a standard offset from the current week, rather than using a positive 1-based count, and a negative 0-based offset.

Regards, Nick.
