Right. Especially that refactoring would significantly change this
code.

You are right. I concentrated on the fact that IMVHO Kevin's version of
this 3/3 solved wrong issue (the problem is not GMT + local, but atnight
which needs localtime), but forgot to stop to think how ugly and
duplicated the code is... or at least mark this patch as RFC, request
for comments on resulting look.

Well, if we go this route, and assuming that parse_date does only parsing
and we use separate subroutine for generating date in an rfc2822 format,
then we could mark only time with "atnight" also when 'localtime' feature
is enabled.

Right. Well, I'd have to think a bit about API for format_timestamp,
but it looks like good direction.
