    Add explanation for plus/minus used by Etc/GMT timezones
    
    Contrary to modern conventions, POSIX-compatible zones use positive
    values to refer to zones west of Greenwich and negative values for those
    east of Greenwich (e.g., 'Etc/GMT+6' refers to 6 hours west of
    Greenwich, commonly called 'UTC-6').
