Comment (by apedog):

 I'm just re-opening this for further discussion.

 There's a thematically related ticket #28636 that at one point had a
 suggestion for a `wp_strtotime` API (which would be a wrapper for `new
 DateTime( $input, wp_timezone() )`).

 I think perhaps WordPress core should provide wrapper-function
 /abstraction-layer/wordpress-way for working with PHP DateTime and
 timestamps.

 Much in the same way `wp_remote_get/request` abstracts cURL etc and lets
 devs make requests without using the underpinning mechanisms and parsing.

 The API should be simple and reliable.
 But a `wp_give_me_timestamp_based_on_these_prameters( ...args )` or
 `wp_give_me_datetime_based_on_these_prameters( ...args )` or
 `wp_give_me_now_based_on_these_parameters()` could be useful.
