As a point of comparison, cctz deals exclusively with *absolute time* (think
time_t), *civil time* (think YMDhms), and *time zone* (opaque).  So, there
is no distinction between TimeZoneUtil's example 1, "Converting a UTC time
to a Local Time", and example 2, "Converting a Local Time in One Time Zone
to Another Time Zone."  They are both instances of:

at = MakeTime(ct1, tz1)
ct2 = BreakTime(at, tz2)


Notice also that "offset" does not appear anywhere in those concepts.
