Why not keep it the way it is an have an option/flag for removing the Z?

Gotta head out in a few, so only briefly:
A lot of this seems complicated, and I personally dislike too many options and
settings.

Would it be a bad thing to have localtime (), utctime (), and timezone () as
completely separate functions?  No idea what to do about daylight savings time
since it's such a bad idea that there are people organizing and petitioning to
get rid of it all together.
