Month-week and quarter-week datetrees (RFC and package announcement)

Month-week and quarter-week datetrees (RFC and package announcement)

[Jack Kamm]

I have started a package that defines org-capture datetrees following
year-quarter-week and year-month-week formats:

https://gitlab.com/jackkamm/org-grouped-weektree

I'd appreciate feedback on 2 points:

1. Are any of these datetree formats worth upstreaming into org-mode
   proper?

2. Can we add a public interface for `org-datetree--find-create', and
   are there any suggestions on how to do it?

Regarding #2, an ugly aspect of my current implementation is the abuse
of the private function `org-datetree--find-create'. I also pass in
the week or quarter for the DAY and MONTH arguments of this function,
though I note that `org-datetree-find-iso-week-create' does something
similar in its implementation.

That would make sense.

The API of `org-datetree--find-create' is generally very limiting.
It would be nice to come up with something less limiting.

Thanks for the feedback -- I'll start working on something along these
lines.  Though this might take me a little while since the holiday is
ending soon :''-(
