Comment:

 I've added patch and fixed what GMT argument does at the moment, which is
 pretty narrow and useless though.

 While it is possible to make GMT work here universally, it would need to
 wait until all ''other'' bugs in the functions are fixed and would be
 messy on top of already messy implementation.

 I think at this point it would make more sense to introduce a new
 localisation function, based on actual Unix timestamp and feature parity
 with `date()`, then deprecate `date_i18n()`.
