Hello

I think this feature can be a useful addition in dealing with time zones. I have applied and tried out the patch, The feature works as described and seems promising. The problem with compilation failure was probably reported on CirrusCI when compiled on different platforms. I have run the latest patch on my own Cirrus CI environment and everything checked out fine. 

Thank you

Cary Huang
