DateTime::modify('now') is ignored, why?

Hi internals, I would to modify a \DateTime object to the current time, thus I wrote this: $d = new \DateTime('+1 hour'); $d->modify('now'); It did not work. Why? Because the documentation (http://php.net/datetime.formats.relative) says: “Now - this is simply ignored”. Really? But the behavior is pretty straightforward isn't? “modify to now” means “set to the current date and time and let the timezone unchanged”. Thoughts?
