Bug description:DateTime::createFromFormat, $format=='D' or $format=='l' Always 
Returns Today.

Description:
------------
If the format only includes a day string ('D' or 'l'), it is ignored, and a


DateTime instance for the current date/time is returned. Maybe I'm a stupid
idiot, 

but I would expect either an error, or for it to return a DateTime object
for the 

next occurrence of the given day (similar to
\DateTime::__construct('Monday');)

Test script:
---------------
<?php                                                                      
                           

                                                                           
                           

$date = new \DateTime('tomorrow');                                         
                           

$date2 = \DateTime::createFromFormat('D', $date->format('D'));             
                           

                                                                           
                           

var_dump($date);                                                           
                           

var_dump($date->format('D'));                                              
                           

var_dump($date2);                                                          
                           

var_dump($date2->format('D'));

Expected result:
----------------
I expect the same date/day to be selected in both cases.

Actual result:
--------------
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {

  ["date"]=>

  string(19) "2011-05-19 00:00:00"

  ["timezone_type"]=>

  int(3)

  ["timezone"]=>

  string(16) "America/New_York"

}

string(3) "Thu"

object(DateTime)#2 (3) {

  ["date"]=>

  string(19) "2011-05-18 18:49:33"

  ["timezone_type"]=>

  int(3)

  ["timezone"]=>

  string(16) "America/New_York"

}

string(3) "Wed"
