This closest I could find takes two functions:
	every nov 11 & !(sat,sun)	<- catches week days
	every fri nov 10, mon nov 12	<- catches weekend special cases

They have a "near" operator. I tried "every mon:fri near nov 11" but
it always yields nov 10 or 12, even mid-week.  What they need is a
on/near to round out their set (after, on/after, before, on/before,
near).
