+// This header allows Posix-style time zones as specified for TZ here:
+// http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_03
+//
+// Posix::time_zone can be constructed with a posix-style string and then used in
+// a zoned_time like so:
+//
+// zoned_time<system_clock::duration, Posix::time_zone> zt{"EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0",
+//                                                         system_clock::now()};
+// or:
+//
+// Posix::time_zone tz{"EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0"};
+// zoned_time<system_clock::duration, Posix::time_zone> zt{tz, system_clock::now()};
+//
+// Note, Posix-style time zones are not recommended for all of the reasons described here:
+// https://stackoverflow.com/tags/timezone/info
+//
+// They are provided here as a non-trivial custom time zone example, and if you really
+// have to have Posix time zones, you're welcome to use this one.
