If we make the respectTimezone argument optional, then it makes a lot of sense to use a dictionary for respectTimezone and the custom data since they would both be optional.

'respectTimezone' and 'ignoreTimezone' isn't a simple concept, this is why we decided to have it mandatory and as explicit strings instead of booleans. Indeed, most developers will use 'respectTimezone' but those who will have to use 'ignoreTimezone' might not even think of it if the API isn't explicit enough. Making the argument explicit reduces the chance of developers shooting themselves in the foot. Hiding the argument inside a dictionary might even be worse in this regard. -- Mounir
