After NSDateFormatter parses a date string that includes a time zone, how can 
the caller determine the time zone? The result is an NSDate object, which is 
simply a timestamp with no notion of time zone.

For example, how does one determine from the string "Wed, 30 Jul 2014 08:21:35 
-0700” that the time zone is GMT-7:00?

(IIRC, in the olden days NSDateFormatter would return an NSCalendarDate object, 
which did have a timeZone property, but no more.)
