  # = Active Support \Time Zone
  #
  # The TimeZone class serves as a wrapper around +TZInfo::Timezone+ instances.
  # It allows us to do the following:
  #
  # * Limit the set of zones provided by TZInfo to a meaningful subset of 134
  #   zones.
  # * Retrieve and display zones with a friendlier name
  #   (e.g., "Eastern Time (US & Canada)" instead of "America/New_York").
  # * Lazily load +TZInfo::Timezone+ instances only when they're needed.
  # * Create ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances via TimeZone's +local+,
  #   +parse+, +at+, and +now+ methods.
  #
  # If you set <tt>config.time_zone</tt> in the \Rails Application, you can
  # access this TimeZone object via <tt>Time.zone</tt>:
  #
  #   # application.rb:
  #   class Application < Rails::Application
  #     config.time_zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)'
  #   end
  #
  #   Time.zone      # => #<ActiveSupport::TimeZone:0x514834...>
  #   Time.zone.name # => "Eastern Time (US & Canada)"
  #   Time.zone.now  # => Sun, 18 May 2008 14:30:44 EDT -04:00
  class TimeZone
    # Keys are \Rails TimeZone names, values are TZInfo identifiers.
