=== Timezone Specifiers
Certain methods in class Time accept arguments that specify timezones:
- Time.at: keyword argument +in:+.
- Time.new: positional argument +zone+ or keyword argument +in:+.
- Time.now: keyword argument +in:+.
- Time#localtime: positional argument +zone+.
The value given with any of these must be one of the following:
- A string offset from UTC in the form <tt>'+HH:MM'</tt> or <tt>-HH:MM</tt>,
where:
- +HH+ is the 2-digit hour in the range <tt>0..23</tt>.
- +MM+ is the 2-digit minute in the range <tt>0..59</tt>.
Examples:
t = Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 20, 15, 1) # => 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC
Time.at(t, in: '-23:59') # => 1999-12-31 20:16:01 -2359
Time.at(t, in: '+23:59') # => 2000-01-02 20:14:01 +2359
- A letter in the range <tt>'A'..'I'</tt> or <tt>'K'..'Z'</tt>;
see {List of military time zones}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_time_zones]:
t = Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 20, 15, 1) # => 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC
Time.at(t, in: 'A') # => 2000-01-01 21:15:01 +0100
Time.at(t, in: 'I') # => 2000-01-02 05:15:01 +0900
Time.at(t, in: 'K') # => 2000-01-02 06:15:01 +1000
Time.at(t, in: 'Y') # => 2000-01-01 08:15:01 -1200
Time.at(t, in: 'Z') # => 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC
- An integer number of seconds in the range <tt>-86399..86399</tt>:
t = Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 20, 15, 1) # => 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC
Time.at(t, in: -86399) # => 1999-12-31 20:15:02 -235959
Time.at(t, in: 86399) # => 2000-01-02 20:15:00 +235959

then add the example class TZ from the tests.
