'Get localized name of day with Twig Intl Extension

Using the Twig Intl Extension in a symfony project gives you the Twig Filter localizeddate.

You can even choose from some "presets" like {{ date|localizeddate('full', 'medium') }} to print out a value (german locale) like: Montag, 24. August 2015 um 23:00:00

But how can I just output the name of the day?

Note: {{ date.format('D') }} will output the name of the day in the english language, not the current locale set in symfony / twig environment.
