Description:
------------
The DateTime manual page (http://de3.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php) should document whether if it is possible to use arbitary dates or not - e.g. Dates which are outside of the general Unix timestamp.

A quick test revealed that $dt = new DateTime("0010-01-01 00:01:00"); does work, but it should be documented, and it should also be documented what the limitations are.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
