If you're feeling studly, you could include a setting for "start of quarter-year", e.g., Oct 1st. Otherwise, the quarter-year would start on Jan 1, 00:00, and .. I think .. be almost exactly equivalent to seasons.

I do plan on implementing this, but I don't want to set a milestone just yet. I'm currently in the process of immigration so I don't have a lot of time on my hands. If anyone wants to take a shot at this feature, you're welcome to. A QuarterRepeater should be fairly trivial to implement, my main focus is on bugs until I have more time, though. It is coming!

I like this, I think it should be a wider feature though with configurable ranges and contexts I would like to be able to use last working week / next working week / 2 working weeks ago and be returned a range, not just of the 7 days previous like 'last week' does but actual working weeks monday-friday.

Chronic.parse 'last working week', :guess => false it includes the weekend, maybe this is silently removing the 'working' part of my query
