 The Gregorian date documentation for the day_of_week method is unhelpful.
 It's not clear what the return type of the method is; it's not immediately
 obvious what a greg_day_of_week is.  The example does not help, since it
 does not use the method at all.  It turns out that the method returns an
 integer, but there is no documentation as to which day corresponds to
 which integer return value.
