 > DateTime::setTimezone(): Can only do this for zones with ID for now

 Ugh, I new there is a catch after all. Will look into it. Need to think if
 producing such "incomplete" (?) time zone object on old PHP versions is
 still worth it. It is, as for me...

 Separate issue for formatting thing please. I think there is already one
 for escaping around, note that there is not just "escaped" case, but
 "escaped escaping" when slashes themselves are slashed, and so on.

 I am not sure what you mean by "preventing formatting". If `date_i18n()`
 doesn't process timezone then output is incorrect since `date()` will
 assume UTC.
