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.
