Yep (see my other posting).

But the original patch only wanted a switch to use gmdate() and gmstrftime() instead of date() and
strftime(). Storing timestamps in the DB as GM makes sense and is quite usual.

What are your use cases for TZ support in stdWrap date/strftime? Why don't you apply the offset
somewhere else? Do you have any plans how the could should actually work (parsing TZ name etc)?
