Allow anonymous users to use a SESSION variable to set timezone

Description of the need

Is there a way we can update backdrop_get_user_timezone() to allow this?

BTW, this is still a problem in the D7 version (despite what that issue said), so I'm not sure this is possible. I'll have to look more closely into it.
