A year of weeks (ISO) may be 52 or 53, depending on when the first Thursday of
the month lands.
Therefore a quarter of a year may include 13 or 13.5 weeks. (one definition).
The other, by your simple shell script, it provides a second definition, based
on the calendar.
One more ponderable, Do we take days in the year and use 1 Jan as the start of
a quarter, or the first week to be the one containing the Sunday that first
precedes or has 1 January (Dec 27th 2016)?
