natural language dates (last, first, etc)

[Per Uger]

I'm getting into hledger, and trying to set up periodic transactions. I
like the flexibility of the date constructions. However, I wonder what is
the best way to build a periodic transaction on the last weekday of a month
(e.g., a paycheck). I see reference to "weekday" in the manual, but know
how to go from there.
I can individual month transactions for 28/30/31 day, but not guaranteed to
be a weekday.
Any thoughts?

I could be wrong, but I’d guess we can’t express that right now..

Would someone like to review our smart date constructs and identify such “holes” ? The current syntax is flexible, but more evolved than systematic.

I would be willing to review the smart date constructs. However, because of
my schedule I may not finish for a couple of weeks. Is that still useful to
you?

Sure!
