-// TimeConversion
-//
-// An `absl::TimeConversion` represents the conversion of year, month, day,
-// hour, minute, and second values (i.e., a civil time), in a particular
-// `absl::TimeZone`, to a time instant (an absolute time), as returned by
-// `absl::ConvertDateTime()`. (Subseconds must be handled separately.)
-//
-// It is possible, though, for a caller to try to convert values that
-// do not represent an actual or unique instant in time (due to a shift
-// in UTC offset in the `absl::TimeZone`, which results in a discontinuity in
-// the civil-time components). For example, a daylight-saving-time
-// transition skips or repeats civil times---in the United States, March
-// 13, 2011 02:15 never occurred, while November 6, 2011 01:15 occurred
-// twice---so requests for such times are not well-defined.
-//
-// To account for these possibilities, `absl::TimeConversion` is richer
-// than just a single `absl::Time`. When the civil time is skipped or
-// repeated, `absl::ConvertDateTime()` returns times calculated using the
-// pre-transition and post-transition UTC offsets, plus the transition
-// time itself.
-//
-// Examples:
-//
-//   absl::TimeZone lax;
-//   if (!absl::LoadTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles", &lax)) {
