// cctz::time_zone is an opaque, small, value-type class representing a
// geo-political region within which particular rules are used for mapping
// between absolute and civil times. Time zones are named using the TZ
// identifiers from the IANA Time Zone Database, such as "America/Los_Angeles"
// or "Australia/Sydney". Time zones are created from factory functions such
// as load_time_zone(). Note: strings like "PST" and "EDT" are not valid TZ
// identifiers.
//
// Example:
//   cctz::time_zone utc = cctz::utc_time_zone();
//   cctz::time_zone pst = cctz::fixed_time_zone(std::chrono::hours(-8));
//   cctz::time_zone loc = cctz::local_time_zone();
//   cctz::time_zone lax;
//   if (!cctz::load_time_zone("America/Los_Angeles", &lax)) { ... }

  // within this time zone, the given civil time may be skipped (e.g.,
  // during a positive UTC offset shift), or repeated (e.g., during a
  // negative UTC offset shift). To account for these possibilities,
  // civil_lookup is richer than just a single time_point.
  //
  // In all cases the civil_lookup::kind enum will indicate the nature
  // of the given civil-time argument, and the pre, trans, and post

  // offset, the transition point itself, and the post-transition offset,
  // respectively (all three times are equal if kind == UNIQUE). If any
  // of these three absolute times is outside the representable range of a
  // time_point<seconds> the field is set to its maximum/minimum value.

// Formats the given time_point in the given cctz::time_zone according to
// the provided format string. Uses strftime()-like formatting options,
// with the following extensions:
//
//   - %Ez  - RFC3339-compatible numeric UTC offset (+hh:mm or -hh:mm)
//   - %E*z - Full-resolution numeric UTC offset (+hh:mm:ss or -hh:mm:ss)
//   - %E#S - Seconds with # digits of fractional precision
//   - %E*S - Seconds with full fractional precision (a literal '*')
//   - %E#f - Fractional seconds with # digits of precision
//   - %E*f - Fractional seconds with full precision (a literal '*')
//   - %E4Y - Four-character years (-999 ... -001, 0000, 0001 ... 9999)
//
// Note that %E0S behaves like %S, and %E0f produces no characters. In
// contrast %E*f always produces at least one digit, which may be '0'.
//
// Note that %Y produces as many characters as it takes to fully render the
// year. A year outside of [-999:9999] when formatted with %E4Y will produce
// more than four characters, just like %Y.
//
// Tip: Format strings should include the UTC offset (e.g., %z, %Ez, or %E*z)
// so that the resulting string uniquely identifies an absolute time.
//
// Example:
//   cctz::time_zone lax;
//   if (!cctz::load_time_zone("America/Los_Angeles", &lax)) { ... }
//   auto tp = cctz::convert(cctz::civil_second(2013, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), lax);

// Parses an input string according to the provided format string and
// returns the corresponding time_point. Uses strftime()-like formatting
// options, with the same extensions as cctz::format(), but with the
// exceptions that %E#S is interpreted as %E*S, and %E#f as %E*f. %Ez
// and %E*z also accept the same inputs.
//
// %Y consumes as many numeric characters as it can, so the matching data
// should always be terminated with a non-numeric. %E4Y always consumes
// exactly four characters, including any sign.
//
// Unspecified fields are taken from the default date and time of ...
//
//   "1970-01-01 00:00:00.0 +0000"
//
// For example, parsing a string of "15:45" (%H:%M) will return a time_point
// that represents "1970-01-01 15:45:00.0 +0000".
//
// Note that parse() returns time instants, so it makes most sense to parse
// fully-specified date/time strings that include a UTC offset (%z, %Ez, or
// %E*z).
//
// Note also that parse() only heeds the fields year, month, day, hour,
// minute, (fractional) second, and UTC offset. Other fields, like weekday (%a
// or %A), while parsed for syntactic validity, are ignored in the conversion.
//
// Date and time fields that are out-of-range will be treated as errors rather
// than normalizing them like cctz::civil_second() would do. For example, it
// is an error to parse the date "Oct 32, 2013" because 32 is out of range.
//
// A second of ":60" is normalized to ":00" of the following minute with
// fractional seconds discarded. The following table shows how the given
// seconds and subseconds will be parsed:
//
//   "59.x" -> 59.x  // exact
//   "60.x" -> 00.0  // normalized
//   "00.x" -> 00.x  // exact
//
// Errors are indicated by returning false.
