Not sure why specifying the month is superfluous. > An alternative I could see would be to drop cal from the ncal package > and only > provide cal from util-linux. > > Nothing would be lost, since ncal can act as cal with the -C option, > so users > wanting that specific cal could use a function > > cal() { > ncal -C $@ > } > > and the rest would get a cal that can show week numbers and set the > beginning of > the Monday. 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.
