 * TODO:
 *      @todo   See https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/time_zone - and support this. But the C++20 doesn't REPLACE
 *              the Stroika timezone - just an extra thing a Stroika timezone can reference (may replace stroika tz database).
 *              But Stroika tz allows representing explicit stuff like +04:00 etc, which cannot be represented by time_zone
 *              class.  --LGP 2022-11-07
 *
 *      @todo   http://stroika-bugs.sophists.com/browse/STK-636
 *              Enhance Timezone class to support real timezones (e.g. American/NewYork) and handle all the cases
 *              of mapping offsets (applying all teh rules for different dates)
 *
 *              Could use boost or  http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2015b.tar.gz  or other.
 *
 *              But good news - I think I have API right now. Just construct a Timezone object with enum or data read from file
 *              and can be used as is throughout rest of DateTime code (well, TimeZoneInformationType probably needs changes).
 *
 *              REVIEW C++20 support here - I think they added support for named timezone map to offsets.

     *  time range - and 'daylight savings time' - a period of the year when you have an alternate timezone name
     *  and offset.
