Good suggestion, you have my +1.

structs as in c# don't have methods, however DateTime has them. so
this doesn't work. What you can do is just pass all the data in the
constructor and then don't change it, and you have your value type that is
immutable.
It just requires a bit self control.

You're right, struct isn't the right word - "value" is probably more accurate.
Actually "structs" in C# can have methods. They are exactly classes with value
type semantics (i.e. pass-by-value, like arrays in PHP).
I think "struct" would be an ideal name for this feature, as this proposal
matches the C# implementation very closely, and many people will be familiar with that.
See the "Structs Tutorial" at msdn for a brief summary of structs in C# -

You are shooting at ants with bazookas ... I don't see a clear path from
an immutable DateTime to C# structs in PHP ...
This seems like a crazy conversation to me, not only is it crazy, it's a
waste of time; I don't see any of the people able to implement it
actually implementing it, and I don't see a vote going in favour of the
idea if there were an implementation.
/me attempts to push the conversation back on track ...
