Timezone abbreviations about spacetime HOT 5 CLOSED

hey Kira, yeah I remember this being a weird thing that we didn't do terribly well.
This would be a cool feature. There may be some weird stuff with daylight-time abbreviations. I'm not sure how best to do it.

for now, i'd recommend looking at this file, which has, i think, all the information you'd need to map from one to the other.

something like this?

+1 for GMT+0800 format --> standard javascript new Date().toString()

hey Kira, i've got this abbreviation stuff added to 5.1.0. It was super-hard. AFIAK, this is the only timezone library to implement this kinda feature.

you can enter timezone abbreviations, like 'EST', and it will assign an IANA code, and then get abbreviations with s.timezone().display

There will be some issues, please let me know if when you find them.

hey @wyang36 just a heads-up, I'm working on moving this abbreviation stuff to a separate package, to keep spacetime lightweight.
It'll be in v6, in the next few weeks, and will be documented in the changelog.
