Yeah, mod is probably better and more general than case. It's still fairly
ugly to require a non-trivial expression to get something that's
consistent with the way that extract(week from date) works. ;)

For anyone who is considering using this, to get an actual iso day of
week, I think you'll need to add 1 at the end since that appears to use a
1-7 range. If you're just using it for sorting or the like, you can get
away with not bothering.
