The bdtTz module is created using Rcpp modules and wraps a
helper class bdtTz around Boost Date_time timezone
functionality provided mainly by the Boost classes
boost::local_time::tz_database and
boost::local_time::time_zone_ptr.
On startup, the database object is initialized using a local copy (in csv format) of the timezone data. Instances of the timezone object, represented by an instance of the timezone pointer class, can be created and queried.
New instances can be created using a valid timezone region string (such “Europe/London”).
signature(x = "Rcpp_bdtTz"): prints a (bdtTz) timezone class object
signature(x = "Rcpp_bdtTz"): formats a (bdtTz) timezone class object
