After NSDateFormatter parses a date string that includes a time zone, how can the caller determine the time zone? The result is an NSDate object, which is simply a timestamp with no notion of time zone.
For example, how does one determine from the string "Wed, 30 Jul 2014 08:21:35 -0700” that the time zone is GMT-7:00?
(IIRC, in the olden days NSDateFormatter would return an NSCalendarDate object, which did have a timeZone property, but no more.)
