mktime and localtime have been following the manual, versus strftime
%z not following it, I think the latter has to be considered the bug.

East or west is probably a matter of taste. I see common lisp is
west, maybe guile was vaguely following that originally. (But in
seconds rather than hours.)

Well, since localtime and mktime obey the manual there'd be nothing to
notice for those :-). For strftime, you're probably right %z hasn't
been much used.
Incidentally, the note in the manual about %Z might apply to %z too.
