Description:

2016 is a year where week numbers (US) differ from ISO.

On 1 januari 2016 it works OK.
select to_char(to_date('20160101', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYYWW')
produces 201601, while
select to_char(to_date('20160101', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYYIW')
produces 201553.

However on 4 januari 2016
select to_char(to_date('20160104', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYYWW')
produces 201601, which should be 201602 !!

And surprisingly on 8 januari 2016, which is in the same week as 4 januari
select to_char(to_date('20160108', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYYWW')
produces 201602, which is correct.
