allow setting time independent from location

[Jan69]

such as UTC+3 instead of...idk, moscow, russia...

How about using zoneinfo like Europe/Helsinki?

I'd prefer if we could use both Europe/Helsinki and UTC+1 notation. Only problem with the latter is that it doesn't update with daylight saving but the former does.

ideally yeah, it would be selectable if it's based on location, or the zoneinfo, or zone offset, or maybe even SystemV style detailed spec (which defines zone name, offset, summer time start and end, etc, usually looks something like NZST-12NZDT,M8.5,M4.1 where NZST is what the zone is called at winter, and NZDT is what it's called at summer, it's complicated, but also very detailed...)
