These snippets contains three small function for calculating the first week-day in a month, whether a year is a leap year, and the number of days in a month.

  ;; ,open srfi-19
  
  ;; return the first weekday in a month as a number
  ;; (0 for sunday, 1 for monday, ...)

    (cond
     ((zero? (modulo year 400)) #t)
     ((zero? (modulo year 100)) #f)
