RunAsDate injects a _fixed_ timestamp, so that's not at all what I'm suggesting for enhancement.
All those people who pointed out $gmt: thanks, I know about that and can use it in my scripts, but that's not what I'm asking for at all. I'm not looking to generate a timestamp value in UTC.
I'd like to have my timestamps _in channel_ be displayed in UTC and not localtime. Similarly, I'd rather have the timestamps added by logging be in UTC instead of localtime. All present timestamp Alt+O->IRC->Message and Alt+O->IRC->Logging formatting refers to localtime.
