Comment (by dd32):

 Replying to [comment:12 jnylen0]:
 > [attachment:39256.4.diff] is ready for commit, but it would be nice to
 modify `rest_get_date_with_gmt` in place rather than deprecating it.  I
 think this should be fine, @dd32 do you agree?

 @jnylen0 It looks like altering the function to simply handle a timezone
 on the input string is sane, without deprecating or adding an extra flag.
 It doesn't appear that any code which would be using that function would
 expect that the timezone data would be discarded, so seems fine.
