What, have I stumbled into some political landmine? GMT <> UTC ?
It can be the 3rd of the month (with an easy regexp) in one place, but the
2nd of the month somewhere else. In that somewhere else, it would
require a more complicated regexp that matches say 03(00|02|03) to the 2nd
of the month.
But if you wanted to stick to only UTC, then I think Mohammad's #2 request
should be possible, though painful. There's only 14 possible yearly
calendars. So you could
match the year against a "wednesday" calendar. Then match the month and day
to determine if the date was a wednesday. There's about 4 Wednesdays per
month, so there's about 672 elements that would have to be programmed (not
counting the years, which would be limited to however many you wanted
to plug in. Whew. That's why date filter operators are needed.
