why this?  as the public interface of srfi-19 uses positive values
for east of gmt it seems perfectly reasonable to internally use
the same interpretation and flip the sign when needed when 'importing'
the tz data from the system or locale information.
or do you see an advantage in using the posix interpretation internally?
