IOW, we should give users _both_ possibilities unambiguously: Posix-only
and
possibly-non-Posix, better-than-nothing, YMMV, human-readable name.
We can do that by introducing a new format key, in addition to %Z.
I'm okay with having a new format, or with adding a function that
would return a time-zone name that is just a string, not the spec
codified by Posix. (It could return strings like "Asia/Riyadh" on
Posix platforms.)
