well, a few things that come to mind..... figure out how many days
are in the first partial week prior to week 1 of this year, that would
be something like 7 - day_of_week(YYYY-01-01), then take '1
day'::interval * (week-1)*7 + that offset, and add that to YYYY-01-01
... add '6 day'::interval to get the last day of the week...
