That would be nice, indeed! Use cases that I can see: - A server process that talks to several users in different locales and time zones. (We have locale_t for several years already, but not yet timezone_t.) - A multithreaded mail agent that wants to sort mails by date, where each mail lists its own date in a format that includes the time zone.
