Exactly. DateTime does not support timezones or fractional seconds. If you
want that, then use SysTime. And if you want to get a DateTime from a string
such as "2018-11-06T16:52:03+01:00", then just use SysTime's
fromISOExtString and convert the result to DateTime. e.g.

auto dt =
    cast(DateTime)SysTime.fromISOExtString("2018-11-06T16:52:03+01:00"");

The documentation for the from*String functions say what they support.
