Why not to just follow the way MySQL behaves?
In that way I'm not obligated to calculate part of the date OUTSIDE the
DB server!
The YEAR starts on Jan 1st. Period.
The first week of the year has nothing to do with Q1 if the real date is
December
31.
I don't see a clear sustenance in derick's explanation.

Some people have different opinions on when the quarter starts. Just
saying that it starts at january 1 is in correct, as most people start
Q1 in the first week of the year or something. That's why I don't think
we should add this.

I added a note how to calculate the quarter:
ceil(date('n')/3);
But I suggest extending date() with the option 'Q' or 'q'.
