Re: "TZ"/"tz" not supported

Are you basically saying that "TZ" can be used in an "output template
string", but not in an "input template string" (in the terminology of
the documentation)? If this is the case, shouldn't this be mentioned
in the documentation? Also, is there a fundamental reason for this
limitation or is it just the implementation waiting to be completed
(nobody has had an itch intensive enough to scratch it)?

Thanks
Peter
