Adds timezones for DateTime parsing! This is accomplished through the use of the TimeZones.jl package. The tests in test/spec-02-22.expected had to be updated to output ZonedDateTime objects instead of DateTime objects, but I think this change better reflects the strictly time-zoned nature of the input strings (like 2001-12-15T02:59:43.1Z and 2001-12-14t21:59:43.10-05:00).

One question I have for the maintainers - should IANA timezone names like America/New_York be implemented? I don't see mention of them in the YAML spec, but TimeZones.jl supports them and it might be a nice addition.

Sorry for the very long delayed response on this. I think this should be included, even with the additional dependency. Seems like I'm the only maintainer of this package even though I never use it 🤦. If you can rebase onto master so that tests will run, I'm happy to merge this.

Awesome, no worries! Just rebased. The test run well locally, though it looks like they aren't running here - let me know if there's anything I need to do to get that running. Thanks for checking this out!

Looks great! Going to merge. I think I'll make a minor version release with #130 , and then a major release with this since it's a new feature / adds a dependency.

Comment thread src/constructor.jl
delta_mn = parse(Int, mat.captures[10])

if mat.captures[8] === nothing
return DateTime(yr, mn, dy, h, m, s, ms)

Actually - before we merge, I wonder about this - it makes the function not type-stable. Should this also be a ZonedDateTime, but just with UTC?

In any case, we should have a test case that hits this line I think

Good idea! Nice that codecov shows it isn't currently tested. Any idea what the test should be? The other tests are taken exactly form the spec (here) so we'd have to make up a line that has time and date but no timezone.

I'm torn on what to do about the DateTime vs ZonedDateTime thing... I think DateTime is used a lot more, and it is useful even without timezones. Dates.now(), for example, shows my local system time. If I wrote a YAML document and specified times with no consideration for timezone, I don't know if I'd want to the read to assume it was all UTC. ZonedDateTimes are definitely a safer choice though. Unfortunately I don't think the spec makes a clear choice so we'll have to pick an implementation ourselves.
