I get the pragmatism, and don’t want to over-bike-shed, but what a wart to live 
with. [I just went back and re-read Robert’s post, and didn’t realize he used 
exactly the same expression!] Would it really be too effortful to create 
_stable or _volatile functions and leave the _tz functions as a sort of legacy?

Or maybe there’s a nice backronym we could come up with for _tz. 

Best,
