Can i do a PR to represent dates with timezone offset?

[randallb]

Hi totally new to this project... love it btw!

Question: Are you interested in a PR to add timezone relative dates to the library?

ie

const thingy = {
date: new Date(),
};
TOML.stringify(thingy);

// date = 2020-07-03T22:21:32.426Z

I'd like to make it more human editable for my people using the product, so is it possible / plausible to change the stringified date into the user's local timezone?

date = 2020-07-03T21:21:32.426-01:00

Looks like I'd do this in stringify.js

How many bytes would you allow me to add? Should I do this in some sort of external way so you can turn it on and off? Should it be the default behavior?

That seems pretty reasonable to me. I'd prefer to avoid config options: Let's go with it as the new default.

One special note: If the date is currently UTC, then let's not change the current representation. Eg, continue to use the Z shortcut.

Uh, what do you mean by "how many bytes would you allow me to add"? =D

@iarna I work at FB... bytesize is a big deal to some ppl 😄 . I'll probably knock this out over the weekend.

I got it working, but tests aren't passing. I'll need to make the tests more resilient to this style of datestamp.

Will probably keep going, but might not. :) If someone really wants it, i'll do it, but i'm going to punt on this for my project right now.
