So you want a third argument that lets you flag if the timezone is DST or not? 
I still don't think that will be necessary. If people want to add that they can 
very easily subclass the timezone class and add support for it. This class 
should be focused on providing a UTC instance and anything needed for a %z 
directive in strptime, nothing more. Anything fancier can be handled by 
libraries like pytz as they need it. Once again, keep the APi as simple as 
possible and add features as needed. I know how tempting it it is to design 
upfront, but just trust me, Alexander, we will all get burned for it later.
