Because we can parse and format things that aren'ts datetimes, like dates, durations, spans, etc. > And speaking of brevity...the 0.18 docs for DateTime say that > 'time_zone_long_name' is short for $dt->tz->name. I see no evidence of a > 'tz' method, though it'd be nice to have around, along with 'tz_name', etc. That should say "short for $dt->time_zone->long_name".
