+0. The base (tzinfo) class requires the datetime argument because,
in general, a zone's name depends on the datetime (like "is it in the

I was thinking of returning the "zoneinfo" name such as America/New_York
in this case. This would end the debate about what is the "proper"
timezone name: if you know the date and time - you can get a specific
EST/EDT abbreviation. If not - you'll just get whatever the zoneinfo
calls itself.
