I don't like that at all. This means you have to trap exceptions
*everywhere* you do date math. Compare this with:
my $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => -4, day => 36,
hour => -52,
time_zone => 'America/Chicago',
);
which is silently accepted! (It's 2002-09-05T-52:00:00, which looks OK
except for the hour...)
I think it's better to return a somewhat sensible value (all dt's in
the missing hour are set to 03:00? 02:xx is changed to 03:xx?) than to
die. You might want to make this configurable (DateTime->use_strict ?).
