This is a good idea.  I will add this, but will also add an RFC as I'd like the 
input of other internals on the output format.

Description:
------------
Hello,

I want to have a default behavior to convert an instance of the class DateTime into a string. I mean
implement the method __toString() in the DateTime class.

The default format should be ISO8601 IMHO, but we can add an attribut to define the default format
to use for __toString() and format() method.

Greetings.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$datetime = new DateTime();
echo $datetime;

Expected result:
----------------
2012-08-23T20:11:21+0200

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Catchable fatal error:  Object of class DateTime could not be converted to string in php shell
code on line 1


------------------------------------------------------------------------
