[O] Repeat every X business days and every Xth day-of-the-week

[Jay McCarthy]

Dear org-mode developers,

I wish that I could write +1bd on a repeating tasks so that it skips
from Friday to Monday.

I looked into implementing this myself, but there are a lot of places
(29) where the regexp [dwmy] is used and it scares me off because I
think I'll break something. It almost seems like you should be able to
add a new 'what' to 'org-timestamp-change' and it will Just Work. But
the algorithm in there would need to change a bit, because it would
try to change by a number of days, but then adjust based on the advic
day of the week.

For now, I just manually complete the task on Saturdays and Sundays...
but it seems wrong to get credit in the TODO -> DONE log when I really
didn't do it :)

I also wish that I could specify in some way that an event happens
every third Thursday of the month or on the first and third Wednesdays
(when my recycling cans are picked up). I don't know of a good way to
fit that into the current annotation scheme of + and ++.

If you have any advice about how I could do it myself safely, I'd be
happy to try and contribute.

Jay
