Do to a bug in pgtypeslin I've been experimenting with the day of week
stuff a little bit and I found that we do not agree with the output of
the cal command on older dates. I have no idea which one is correct:

mm=# select to_char('1000/01/01'::date,'D');
 to_char
 ---------
 4
(1 row)

Thus we believe 1000/1/1 is a Wednesday. cal says:

    Januar 1000
So Mo Di Mi Do Fr Sa
    1  2  3  4  5  6
 7  8  9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30 31

Thus 1000/1/1 is a Monday. Is this a bug in cal? Or do we produce the
wrong output? Or do I simply misread the output?
