This adds "getWeek" method to Date.prototype which returns number of week from the beginning of the year. The argument defines which day of the week to consider the first. If no argument passed, first day is assumed Sunday.
/**
* Get week number in the year.
* @param {Integer} [weekStart=0] First day of the week. 0-based. 0 for Sunday, 6 for Saturday.
* @return {Integer} 0-based number of week.
