First and foremost, thank you for working on the PHP project.
Can you show me where this is stated in the documentation? And if it is not modifiable, whats the
purpose of instantiating with DateTimeImmutable?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
The end date is not supposed to be modifiable.

Description:
------------
When DatePeriod is instantiated with DateTime objects (as opposed to DateTimeImmutable objects), the
getEndDate() instance method does not return a reference to the object's internal end date
DateTime object.
Test script:
---------------
$period = new DatePeriod(
new DateTime( '2018-01-01' ),
new DateInterval( 'P1D' ),
new DateTime( '2018-01-02' )
);
var_dump(
$period->getEndDate()->add( new DateInterval( 'P1D' ) ) ===
$period->getEndDate()
);
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
