I've been thinking about this, but the other way I could come up with is
by passing a complex array instead of the textual description, something
like:
$modi = array('month' => 1);
But then does that mean: next month, month 1 (january) or "first
month"... I'm open here for other solutions, I just didn't find a better
one that using strtotime() equivalent modifiers here. I also think that
consistency is good :)

Right, one of the reasons that I made it an object, you can easily
extend it there.

Week numbers work fine? Do you see a bug? If so, send me a reproducable
script.
