I'd like to clarify what you intend the new time zone option to be named; my patch series currently uses `--time-zone' (which is admittedly long), but it would appear here that you find `--zone' attractive. My only qualm there is that `zone' is such a rich word; not only is it somewhat incomprehensible out of context, but it also might be useful for something else in the future.
