Note that `%Z' might print the `tm:zone' in TM or it might print
just the current zone (`tzset' above). A GNU system prints
`tm:zone', a strict C99 system like NetBSD prints the current
zone. Perhaps in the future Guile will try to get `tm:zone' used
always.
and this comment as a reminder
@c
@c The issue in the above is not just whether tm_zone exists in
@c struct tm, but whether libc feels it should read it. Being a
@c non-C99 field, a strict C99 program won't know to set it, quite
@c likely leaving garbage there. NetBSD, which has the field,
@c therefore takes the view that it mustn't read it. See the PR
@c about this at

@c
@c Uniformly making tm:zone used on all systems (all those which have
@c %Z at all of course) might be nice (either mung TZ and tzset, or
@c mung tzname[]). On the other hand it would make us do more than
@c C99 says, and we really don't want to get intimate with the gory
@c details of libc time funcs, no more than can be helped.
