Looks like the Israelis beat you to it:
{"ist", TZ, POS(8)}, /* Israel */
This isn't the first such conflict we've heard about. I suppose the
eventual solution will be to remove the built-in table of timezone names
in favor of a configuration file that defines the timezones to be used,
so that people could easily customize the zone names for local use.
This is not very high on the to-do list of any of the key developers,
however. In the meantime you could just hack the timezone table (look
in src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c).
