 ## Dates
 - [x] Accept "strings"
 - [x] Accept keys
-- [ ] handle timezones
+- [x] handle timezones
+- [ ] Fix TZ cache leak in parallel tests: `tz_cache` uses `context.allocator` (tracking allocator in tests), but it's global state shared across parallel test threads. Race causes leak warnings. Fix: use heap allocator for TZ cache.
 - [ ] display an error when no part of the date appears in the output.
 - [x] use `date.format` as the default format.
 - [ ] Handle 0 and whitespace padding i.e. "_2" -> " 2"
