just a quick note that local-time timestamps are also not aware of
timezones either, and that is fine that way. only the conversion
functions are aware of timezones, e.g. when printing a timestamp into
a calendar system defined string of characters that humans can
understand, or when e.g. creating a timestamp from user input.

also note that local-time has quite some TODO's documented in its TODO
file. but other than that it works.
