It's not like "modify to something", but "modify _with_ something". With
your point of view "modifiy('+7 days')" will _always_ point to next week,
but it should (and it's intuitive right), that it will point to 7 days
after the previous date. So what should "modify with now" mean?
Other way round: You are looking for the "set*()"-methods :) Because you
want to _set_ a date, not modify one.
