This change certainly produces results consistent with the GNU date, but I
suspect it's not "right right". I didn't get to a point where I had working
support for input starting `TZ="blah" ` so I backed out what I'd done and
sent you this as a "better than yesterday" stop gap. But I suspect that
when we get to the point where we handle separate input and output
timezones, this presumably goes back to UTC (unless it's preceded by TZ=)
and the *output* conversion produces this effect instead?

We'll see when we get there...
