When the factory method was added, we had this same discussion. And the
discussions lead to the conclusion that it does not make sense to have
this "createFromImmutable" factory method on DateTime. Basically with
the same reasons that people should type hint against the Interface
instead. To emulate that in PHP 5.5 and lower, users can just do:
class DateTimeInterface extends DateTime {}
I know, that's a bit of a hack.
I am against this addition, even though the patch looks OK.
cheers,
Derick
