Additionally, MessageFormatter::parse() might return a DateTime object
instead of a UNIX timestamp.

Description:
------------
Feature request for the new intl extension.
Both the MessageFormatter and the IntlDateFormatter accept values for
dates. The IntlDateFormatter accepts both Unix timestamps and the value
for localtime(). I'm assuming it's the same for the MessageFormatter.
Since PHP 5.2 we have the DateTime object through the standard date
extension. While it's easy to get the unix timestamp from a DateTime
object through DateTime::getTimestamp() introduce in 5.3, this is an
extra statement which just adds clutter.
Could these two formatters be made to also accept DateTime objects ?
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$date = new DateTime("1 year ago");
$msgfmt = MessageFormatter::create('nl_NL', 'Today one year ago is
{0,date}');
echo $msgfmt->format(array($date));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Output: Today one year ago is 15 aug 2007
Actual result:
--------------
Output: Today one year ago is 1 jan 1970
