$dt->strftime($dt->locale->medium_date_format);
could we get a shortcut method like:
$dt->locale_strftime('medium');
the object should be able to use the locale it already contains; I shouldn't have to pass it in. We already have shortcuts for ->mdy, ->dmy, ->hms so there should be a nice little shortcut for a locale-aware getter. The presence of the former in the documentation might lead one to believe an if statement would be the best way to localize this use case (m/d/y vs d/m/y).

and I know that locale knows what formatting it prefers (such as day-month-year versus month-day-year abbreviations). But is there an less verbose way to pull it out than this:
$dt->strftime($dt->locale->date_formats->{'medium'});
I was hoping for something like $dt->medium_format.... does it exist?
$dt->locale->medium_date_format
The locale classes need better docs, I think.
