next_day not equal date + 1day, but like next monday, ... look to doc.
next_day (date, varchar) -- varchar = sunday|monday|...
last_day is very often used function. Really. I can substitute
create or replace function last_day(date) returns date $$
select date_trunc('month', $1 + interval '1month') - 1;
$$ language sql;
but I think can be usefull (for first day we have date_drunc, for
last_date nothing)
