It's funny that this topic came up on the mailing list just now -- I've 
been working on integrating org-mode more into my daily workflow, and am 
starting to put some habits in and was trying to figure out how to make 
the habits repeat in the way I want them to.

If I have something that I want to track in terms of consistency, and 
want to do it during the weekdays, is there a way I could express that 
other then having a series of 5 habits, one for each day of the week, 
each one of which would repeat every week?
