Description

runs Monday to Sunday.

For evidence - here's the calendar of the UK parliament:

And a couple of support threads suggesting Americans change their
locale to en_GB on Microsoft and Apple in order to get their calendars
to start the week on Monday:

Following the lead of Microsoft and Apple seems reasonable in this case.

This change deserves a line in the release notes, doesn't it?

It certainly does - I've added something and pushed a new commit.
