I believe it depends on the system settings. If your localization is set
to where Sunday is the 1st day of the week, then Wednesday would in fact be
the 4th.

The dictionary says that the seventh item of dateitems is
the numeric day of the week where Monday is day 1, Tuesday is day 2, and
so forth

When I try this I find that today, Wednesday, the seventh item is 4.  If I
change the date to Sunday, it's 1.

(Both docs and behaviour are consistent with 6.7.11 or 8.1.3 (rc 1) or
versions in between.)

Is this an error in the documentation, or an error in the code (in which
case too long standing to change, so it might as well be treated as an
error in the docs); or is it due to some setting somewhere?

TIA.
