[local-time-devel] Timestamp encoding incorrect

certain operations require that you become aware of the current
timezone, look for &key :timezone and/or :offset arguments. your
example carried out in the UTC zone:

LOCAL-TIME> (decode-timestamp (encode-timestamp 0 0 0 0 1 1 2009
:offset 0) :timezone +utc-zone+)
0
0
0
0
1
1
2009
4
NIL
0
"UTC"


LOCAL-TIME> (timestamp-minimize-part (encode-timestamp 0 0 0 0 1 1
2009 :offset 0) :day :offset 0)
@2009-01-01T01:00:00.000000+01:00
