Sorry, should have been more clear.  This is simply a demonstration of
how to find the current week's Thursday without a loop.

The rest of Siep's code makes sense.  I'd probably end up doing
something crazy.  In any case, the added method is probably obscure
enough to not affect the base class Date in other applications.
