I don't really understand the lisp, but I'm guessing that %Y, %m, and %d
hold the current year, month, and day, respectively, so I can see how
the regex could be modified to deal with "last year" and "last month".

However, more useful to me would be "last week", so what approach should
I take for that?

Cheers,

Loris
