[plt-scheme] Re: Odd SRFI-19 problem on OS X

David,

Thanks for working on this!

I'd like to put in a vote for implementing ~Z, symbol time zone, for
use in date->string and string->date.

I have an alist that codes a mapping between the ~z (time zone in
RFC-822 style) and ~Z.  If it would let me know.

Thanks again,
David
