Add Date.setTimeZone('Asia/Calcutta') static method

💡 Ideas
#1

Hi Team,
I would like to add Date.setTimeZone(<IANA TimeZone>) static method to Date Data structure in the next version of ECMAScript, This will be really helpful to set the timezone for the whole global context and since most of the apps are dealing with applications that need to use timezone different from local timezone since we started working from home. I would appreciate your feedback on this.

Thanks

In Stage 3 Temporal, the time zone must be explicitly specified using Temporal.TimeZone instead of the global context.

If you really want to change the global context, you can join the discussion on Stage 1 Compartments.

I like the idea, but as an instance method, not a global method.
