The current coding assumes a UTC environment; we need to both deal sanely
with others and offer the option of UTC and local output.

The latter will mean a new option on the expansion. I propose "local" and
"utc"
values, both incompatible with the existing "int" (which requests integer
seconds
since epoch rather than human-readable string). The "local" value will use the
environment value of TZ. I think "utc" should be the default.
