        Day-of-the-week relative shifting can use either Python's weekday numbers
        (Monday = 0, Tuesday = 1 .. Sunday = 6) or using dateutil.relativedelta's
        day instances (MO, TU .. SU).  When using weekday numbers, the returned
        date will always be greater than or equal to the starting date.

        Using the above code (which is a Saturday) and asking it to shift to Saturday:

        >>> arw.shift(weekday=5)
        <Arrow [2013-05-11T22:27:34.787885+00:00]>

        >>> arw.shift(weekday=0)
