Right, I know I'm at GMT-9, and tzinfo correctly deduces that when it creates an object. But what if I were currently at GMT-8 (my time zone on daylight savings time) and I was importing data created during standard time? How would I create an object and tell it this is America/Anchorage on standard time, or conversely, how would I right now create and object and tell it to use daylight time? In other words, how can I explicitly specify whether or not the time object being created is daylight savings time or not? I did not see that option in the documentation reading I did.
