Agreed, but you can work around that if you try really hard.

Two reasons:

1) trigdate() doesn't necessarily return March 22.  It returns the
actual calculated trigger date, so trigdate() + 21 will always be three
weeks in the future.

2) You have to wrap a date in trigger() because REM wants to parse
dates of the form "22 March 2009" and not '2009-03-22'
