Date has cweek method which is equivalent to strftime("%W").to_i.

|Should such a method be part of the built-in classes?
|If yes, we have to deal with the two formats of week numbers. The week method could call week_starting_on_monday or week_starting_on_sunday, depending on system config overridable with a global variable?

I'm not sure.   Things might be clarify after discussion.
