IMO the integers containing bitshifted fields should be wrapped in a newtype with a const API that can handle both construction and getting out the individual values.
Instead of simply concatenating all abbrevations, how much smaller does the full string get if you concatenate only abbreviations that aren't already in the earlier string?

I think this is abbrevations.join("")?

Let's suffix the field name with _idx?

Three changes that bring the size of
DateTime<Tz>down from 48 bytes to 20 bytes:i16. All abbreviations are at most 6 characters and the entire string is ca. 650 characters. So it fits easily.i16, it needs 17 bits. We give it 18 bits of ani32. The DST offset from the base offset is much smaller, it can fit into the remaining 14 bits. This spares onei32.FixedTimespantype, and 2 bytes of padding in theTzOffsettype. If we don't wrap theFixedTimespanbut copy its two fields intoTzOffsetwe get rid of the padding, which is 33% of the type.A binary compiled with these size optimizations is 1,5Mb smaller 🎉.
Fixes #27.
