Nice to hear it is already taken care of, thank you.
I was almost on my way to make a pull request myself, as an exercise in contributing to an open source project, but I am not sure about the customs, if I should create an issue first.
Of curiosity, may I ask why you chose "dddd" as the token for week date number, instead of the "D" symbol used in the ISO 8601 formats notation?

Now that I started to write out the rationale for the choice of "dddd", I'm realising that perhaps I think "dd" might be a better choice. What do others think?
If we stick with `dddd` for day of week, perhaps we'd use `ddddd` for day of year?
Perhaps that's excessively long, but it does seem like a very unusual requirement in any case; only users who were looking for it would want it, if you see what I mean.
> I think 0dd and dd should be an option. I think 0dd is needed to get easy default sort order.The day of week is a number from 1 to 7, so zero padding doesn't seem useful.
