Description
For CET, only DateTime.strptime successfully parsed timezone
irb(main):003:0> DateTime.strptime('2015-11-12 CET', '%Y-%m-%d %Z') => #<DateTime: 2015-11-12T00:00:00+01:00 ((2457338j,82800s,0n),+3600s,2299161j)> irb(main):004:0> Time.strptime('2015-11-12 CET', '%Y-%m-%d %Z') => 2015-11-12 00:00:00 +0900
For JST also, only DateTime worked.
irb(main):005:0> ENV['TZ'] = 'UTC' => "UTC" irb(main):006:0> DateTime.strptime('2015-11-12 JST', '%Y-%m-%d %Z') => #<DateTime: 2015-11-12T00:00:00+09:00 ((2457338j,54000s,0n),+32400s,2299161j)> irb(main):007:0> Time.strptime('2015-11-12 JST', '%Y-%m-%d %Z') => 2015-11-12 00:00:00 +0000
For PST, both worked.
irb(main):004:0> DateTime.strptime('2015-11-12 PST', '%Y-%m-%d %Z') => #<DateTime: 2015-11-12T00:00:00-08:00 ((2457339j,28800s,0n),-28800s,2299161j)> irb(main):003:0> Time.strptime('2015-11-12 PST', '%Y-%m-%d %Z') => 2015-11-12 00:00:00 -0800
I felt DateTime.strptime and Time.strptime should have compatibility.
