Comment:

 Return in local time is intended and documented behavior for the function.
 There are options for ''input'' to instantiate from, but the ''output'' is
 always given in a consistent state and not meant to be configured (this
 reduced complexity of arguments and room for error). If UTC time is
 needed, it can be derived from the resulting object.
