+`--date=human` shows the timezone if the timezone does not match the

+(ie skip printing year for dates that are "this year", but also skip
+the whole date itself if it's in the last few days and we can just say

 `--date=unix` shows the date as a Unix epoch timestamp (seconds since
 1970).  As with `--raw`, this is always in UTC and therefore `-local`
 has no effect.
