This should be wrapped in a (let ((default-timezone +utc-zone+)) ...) because you're not actually testing here that the timezone used is different from the default.

If this were in UTC zone, parse-timestring might change such that :offset nil would be interpreted as :offset 0 regardless of the *default-timezone*, whereas this code tests that :offset nil uses *default-timezone*.

Wow, I've let this PR seriously languish. Sorry.
I mean that by setting default-timezone to eastern-tz and carefully arranging the arguments so that they return the same timestamps, this test basically doesn't show that the arguments do anything at all. A version of parse-timestring that ignored all its arguments and only used default-timezone would pass this test.

This line seems more of a test of adjust-timestamp.

You're testing timezones but only using date timestamps? That seems odd.

I don't even know how to github anymore.

Allow parse-timestring to parse timestring in different timezones. This would be useful in cases where timezone is sent separately like it could (and often does) in the icalendar format.
As discussed in #56
