I added this in my subclass. Works well as a workaround, but it would be nice
to have it in code indeed.
public static function createFromFormat($a, $b, $c = null)
{
$date = $c ? parent::createFromFormat($a, $b, $c) :
parent::createFromFormat($a, $b);
return new static('@'.$date->format('U'), $date->getTimeZone());
}

Had a quick look at this, but it wasn't as simple as I thought. Needs some more
investigation.

Description:
------------
I want to extend DateTime, but without DateTime::createFromFormat, actually
creating instances from my class, i.e. "MyDateTime::createFromFormat" this is
rather problematic.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class MyDateTime extends DateTime { }
$d = MyDateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '2011-01-01');
echo get_class($d);
Expected result:
----------------
MyDateTime
Actual result:
--------------
DateTime
