A custom_time_zone object is a set of data and rules that provide information about a time zone. Information such as the offset from UTC, it's name and abbreviation, as well as daylight savings rules, called <link linkend="date_time.local_time.dst_calc_rules">dst_calc_rules</link>. These rules are handled via a boost::shared_ptr<dst_calc_rules>. Not all time zones utilize daylight savings, therefore, time_zone objects can be used with a NULL-assigned shared_ptr.

As a convenience, a typedef for shared_ptr<dst_calc_rules> is provided.
