Hi!
Please take a moment to review the DateTime transitions RFC and vote on
it. I encourage voting on it to ensure we are all on the same page as
to how PHP will handle transitions. Voting is open through 10/31.
Reading this RFC, I have some questions:
1. Would this ST/DST be used on format() too? If yes, then we;d get a
format that nobody but PHP can parse. If no, then we don't have
roundtrip for format/parse to read the same date as you wrote.
2. What is the intended use case for this syntax? I.e., if I am getting
a date from somewhere, how this ST/DST is getting there? It can't come
from the UI since no user and no external system would know how to
generate these, and if it's supposed to be generated by the code, we get
kind of chicken-and-egg problem here - to generate right ST/DST suffix,
we already need to know what this date string says. So I'm a bit unclear
on the use case here, especially if you're proposing to throw exceptions
if the times are out of very specific hour - that means to create this
suffix I'd have to know if we're in this hour or not - but how would I
know that?
