I think both behaviours ("normalization" and throwing an error)
are useful, so how about adding options to the constructor, so one
can use
my $dt = DateTime->new( VALIDATE = 0,
hour => 7,
minute => 75,
);
to enable/disable validation of arguments.
I'm sorry if this has been discussed before (and rejected).
