thanks for this idea and for the patch.  I just pushed a different
implementation, allowing a new :mstart parameter for clocktables,
similar to the already existing :wstart parameter.

The default for :wstart (the week starting day) is 1, for monday.
The default for :mstart (the month starting day) is 1, for the first
day of the month.

So the new default for e.g.,

  #+BEGIN: clocktable :block month :step week
  #+END

is to start on the 1st of the month (ignoring :wstart) and to continue
with weeks starting on mondays.

If you use

  #+BEGIN: clocktable :block month :step week :wstart 2 :mstart 3
  #+END

it will start the report on the 3rd of the month, and continue the
weekly steps starting from tuesdays.

Thanks for this idea and for the patch!
