[R] Find out the day of week for a chron object?

[Gabor Grothendieck]

month.day.year takes a chron object and produces a list
with three components named month, day and year.  with
executes its second argument in an environment where the
components of the list of the first argument are variables
so arg 2 can refer to the names month, day and year.

Could someone give me a glimmer into HOW and WHY that expression 
with(month.day.year(x), day.of.week(month,day,year))
works? :-)
