A static TimeValue::newFromDateTime( DateTime $dateTime )?

I started playing around with this and I think this needs a parser. The biggest issues are:

• What precision do you expect when providing a DateTime with the time set to "00:00:00"? Is this midnight? Or do you want the precision set to day?
• What calendar model do you expect when providing a date in 1800?

When both int $precision and string $calendarModel parameters are required and not auto-detected from the provided DateTime $dateTime, the code you want is simple:

$value = new TimeValue(
    $dateTime->format( '+Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z' ),
    0, 0, 0,
    $precision,
    $calendarModel
)

If you want auto-detection, you can use the existing IsoTimestampParser:

$parser = new IsoTimestampParser();
$value = $parser->parse( $dateTime->format( 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s' ) );
