Bug description:DateTime::createFromFormat() does not accept 'W' or 'w' format specifier

Description:
------------
Although the documentation claims every "Format accepted by date()" is
accepted by DateTime::createFromFormat()
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php), the
specifiers 'W' and 'w' are actually not.
So this is either a bug or a documentation-error.

Test script:
---------------
$mydate = DateTime::createFromFormat('W', '1');
print_r(DateTime::getLastErrors());
