Description:
------------
Feature request. 

Might be nice if the new DateTime::add(), DateTime::sub() and already 
existing DateTime::modify() methods would allow method chaining.





Reproduce code:
---------------
$datetime = new DateTime();
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('2 weeks');

echo $datetime->add($interval)->format('d-m-Y H:i');



Expected result:
----------------
An echo'ed string showing the date of 2 weeks from 'now'.





Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object in 
/Users/mathieu/Source/tests/datetime/Modify.php on line 4

It works for ->modify() already, and most of the other modification methods. Apparently I forgot to add it for ->add() and ->sub() though, so classifying this as a bug instead.

php -r 'echo date_create("")->modify("+3 weeks")->format("c\n");'
