Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: [RFC] IntlRelativeDateTimeFormatter

Hi Tim,


Yes. The clone was necessary because ICU takes ownership
of the UNumberFormat passed to it.


And yes, this would be unexpected. Technically it is possible
for us to fix this in the php side. My idea is to make the internal
ICU formatter refreshed lazily before the next format() or
formatnumeric() call, and by refreshing we observe if there is
updates to the internal retained numberformatter.


I think this is a good catch user-side. Will add this in the RFC
and implementation. Thanks!
