SmartMonth is a “bodysnatcher” plugin that takes boring Date month fixnums and replaces them with a rich toolkit of
functionality. You can use SmartMonth to:

• Determine the first tuesday of any month in any year.
• Determine all of the fridays of any month in any year.
• Iterate through all the days of a month.
• Determine how many days of the month there are.
• Determine the first and last days of the month.
• And other fun date/month related things!

This is designed to be an extension of not only Time.now.month, but adds a new Month class to the ruby object model.
