This adds a stage 0 proposal to extend
wasi:clockswith basic timezone support. @sunfishcode is the current champion forwasi:clocksand has volunteered to also be the champion for this extension. The related PR for this on thewasi:clocksside are: WebAssembly/wasi-clocks#61 and cdmurph32/wasi-clocks#1.This proposal is a little different from the other proposals so far: rather than introducing something new, this extends an existing stage 3 proposal. The expectation is that we will want to advance this independently from
wasi:clocksthrough the phase process, and will be voted on by the SG. Tracking this independently gives us the flexibility we need for that.Additionally, this also gives the
timezoneproposal a concrete name. Now that@unstablehas landed in the component model, we can use the name of the proposal as the name of the feature gate. In this case that would mean we would gate this extension using theclocks-timezonefeature name.I hope this all makes sense. I've also filed WebAssembly/meetings#1594 to discuss this all in more detail in tomorrow's SG meeting. Thanks!
