That's good, because it's already been added to the repository.

timezone name with "z" or "l", the lower case file names are in fact
offered (instead of, for example, correcting to Zulu).

Do you mean the calling program might use those as keywords (with no
leading hyphen[s])?  Or do you mean the caller of _time_zone should
[be able to] specify whether to include them?

Further, if you start completing the tail of an absolute path, normal
file completion occurs.
