Ah yes, but if that's the normal desired behavior that's an ugly
default compared to (formatter "fmtstr")...

Also worth noting is that Avi pointed out that (now),
(today-at-midnight), (epoch) etc all use UTC instead of the default
time zone so this is a broader philosophical point of whether clj-time
should continue to use UTC as its default or your default time zone. I
tend to have all my servers set to UTC and do everything in UTC (and
then convert for input / output into the local user's timezone) so I'm
perfectly happy with clj-time as it stands. This is more about whether
the majority of users would prefer the current UTC behavior or whether
it would be more convenient to use the (local) default time zone?

Currently folks would need (to-time-zone (now) (default-time-zone))
and similar calls. If the behavior was changed, folks who wanted UTC
would need (to-time-zone (now) utc) - although for many of these calls
I'd probably add an optional timezone argument to support (now utc).
Hmm, that might be worthwhile anyway to allow (now
(default-time-zone))...
