Comment (by aduth):

 - The `$has_timezone` regular expression could incorrectly match e.g.
 `+99:99`, and does not match a valid `-0500` (omitting `:` permitted).
 More accurate option might be `#(Z|[+-]([0-1]\d|2[0-4])(:?[0-5]\d)?)$#`
 - `rest_get_date_with_gmt` had previously been the only function to call
 `rest_parse_date` with a second parameter. Since it no longer does, should
 we remove that argument altogether?
