Timers for weekly events

[Christopher Howard <christopher@librehacker.com>]

Hi, I'm running 29.4, but I don't think there were any recent changes in this area: I really appreciate the timers library, but I feel like one deficiency is that it doesn't make it easy to set up weekly reoccuring timers. In my use case, I need to send an automated e-mail once per week. But I can imagine other use cases, such as downloading online science data or managing log files.

I was wondering if it might be helpful to have some kind of helper function available in timer.el (and documented in the manual) that would make this easier. Here is the one I am using:

Or perhaps, alternatively, there would be some appropriate adjustment to the run-at-time interface...?
