 `formatTZ()` is upward compatible with `format()`. Tokens available for `arg` are the same as those for `format()`. If `timeZone` is omitted, this function assumes `timeZone` to be a local time zone and outputs a string. This means that the result is the same as when `format()` is used.

 `parseTZ()` is upward compatible with `parse()`. Tokens available for `arg` are the same as those for `parse()`. `timeZone` in this function is used as supplemental information. if `dateString` contains a time zone offset value (i.e. -0800, +0900), `timeZone` is not be used. If `dateString` doesn't contain a time zone offset value and `timeZone` is omitted, this function assumes `timeZone` to be a local time zone. This means that the result is the same as when `parse()` is used.

+- @returns {**string**} A formatted string
 
 `transformTZ()` is upward compatible with `transform()`. `dateString` must itself contain a time zone offset value (i.e. -0800, +0900), otherwise this function assumes it is a local time zone. Tokens available for `arg1` are the same as those for `parse()`, also tokens available for `arg2` are the same as those for `format()`. `timeZone` is a `IANA time zone names`, which is required to output a new formatted string. If it is omitted, this function assumes `timeZone` to be a local time zone. This means that the result is the same as when `transform()` is used.
