Not sure why specifying the month is superfluous.

Now I'm confused. Is the reason for this proposal to have a cal that
shows week numbers and forces the start of the week to Monday? Well,
ncal does both of this, so why don't you just use something like "ncal
-wMb" as cal? Not that ncal needs "-M", it is able to get this from
your locale.
