Description
Could we have the UTM zone and letter displayed in the object info panel, please?

Replying to Don-vip:
@bastiK: is JOSM capable of this? I thought UTM zones were uniform before learning about the exceptions:
The only information we have in JOSM right now is the mapping from UTM zone (1-60) to central longitude.
These grid zones are uniform over the globe, except in two areas. On the southwest coast of Norway, grid zone 32V (9° of longitude in width) is extended further west, and grid zone 31V (3° of longitude in width) is correspondingly shrunk to cover only open water. Also, in the region around Svalbard, the four grid zones 31X (9° of longitude in width), 33X (12° of longitude in width), 35X (12° of longitude in width), and 37X (9° of longitude in width) are extended to cover what would otherwise have been covered by the seven grid zones 31X to 37X. The three grid zones 32X, 34X and 36X are not used.
Those exceptions are very limited and could be hard-coded.

In geodesy sometimes working in neighbor UTM zone is also done to prevent UTM zone switches.
I think the main question here is: Why should we do this?
Nearly nobody needs this and zone calculation is extremly simple and can be done manually.

Believe or not, JOSM is better than some GIS programs to edit data (and having the UTM info would make some edits even more convenient).
But of course, I can understand that this is not exactly related with OSM.

@bastiK: Don't we have a bug in CustomProjection
?
// "utm" is a shortcut for a set of parameters if ("utm".equals(parameters.get(Param.proj.key))) { Integer zone; try { zone = Integer.valueOf(Optional.ofNullable(parameters.get(Param.zone.key)).orElseThrow( () -> new ProjectionConfigurationException(tr("UTM projection (''+proj=utm'') requires ''+zone=...'' parameter.")))); } catch (NumberFormatException e) { zone = null; } if (zone == null || zone < 1 || zone > 60) throw new ProjectionConfigurationException(tr("Expected integer value in range 1-60 for ''+zone=...'' parameter.")); this.lon0 = 6d * zone - 183d; this.k0 = 0.9996; this.x0 = 500_000; this.y0 = parameters.containsKey(Param.south.key) ? 10_000_000 : 0; }
I see nothing about exceptions for zones 31V/32V. I fear lon0 calculation is wrong for these zones.

The exceptions are for the military grid reference system (MGRS), which is based on UTM. As we don't support MGRS, there can be no bug...
