I know you were probably kidding. I know it's crazy to add something
like that to planner. But I couldn't resist...

Announcing another really strange feature of planner...

You can now specify dates like

+mon           - next Monday
-2fri          - two Fridays ago
+mon5          - the Monday after the 5th of this month (not including the 5th)
+tue3.0        - the first Tuesday in March.
+tue3.1        - the first Tuesday after March 1.
-mon2005.01.01 - the last Monday before the New Year

Add entries to planner-expand-name-days-alist if you want it to fit your 
locale. =)

Note that this is case-sensitive because we're just using assoc to get data out
of the alist.
