Date.at_end_of_week is unpredictable

#423

Date.at_end_of_week does not work as demonstrated by the following examples:

The end of the week is supposed to be Saturday, the 21st.

now = Date.current.at_beginning_of_day
# => Sun Jun 15 00:00:00 -0500 2008
now.at_end_of_week
# => Sun Jun 15 23:59:59 -0500 2008

Adding on to the previous code, the end of the week should also be Saturday, the 21st.

tom = now.tomorrow 
# => Mon Jun 16 00:00:00 -0500 2008
tom.at_end_of_week
# => Sun Jun 22 23:59:59 -0500 2008

This depends on where you live. I think it should be added as an option to put in config/environment.rb. I'll try to make a patch for this.

I've seen that this convention is used in a lot of methods, so it's not easy to change.

Hey there,

This should be easy enough to override if you'd like the week to end on Saturday.

In Ruby core, Sunday is "wday" 0, and Saturday is wday "6".

I'm going to recommend this be closed up, unless you'd really like an option. :)
