Description:
------------
Would be nice if DateTime had some sort of differences functions.

Something that could get around the 2038 issue of this:

$diffTime = strtotime($endDateString) - strtotime($startDateString)

may be something like this:

$endDateString = new DateTime("@$X");

$diffTime = $endDateString->difference("@$Y");

does anyone have a workaround for the datetime difference functionality? Simple subraction and addition of strototime values don't work?

This has been implemented for PHP 5.3 in the form of the date_diff() function and the diff() method of the DateTime class.
