Subject: Please add a "calender-use-numeric-time-zone-names" variable
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2018 21:29:03 +0800

In Calendar, if one doesn't want to see ambiguous time zones names, like "CST",
in .emacs one must put e.g.,
(setq calendar-standard-time-zone-name "+0800")

I.e., if the user enjoys seeing numeric time zone names, just like the
mail headers surely above, he must "do it himself".

Therefore please add a
(setq calender-use-numeric-time-zone-names t) ; enabled
new variable.
