Comment (by rmccue):

 Replying to [comment:3 jnylen0]:
 > We also need to make sure that `gmt_offset` returns an appropriate value
 even if the `timezone_string` is set instead, to e.g. `America/New_York`.
 These two options behave a bit strangely together.

 Also on this point, `gmt_offset` is shimmed in
 `wp_timezone_override_offset()`, so ''reading'' it is always accurate.
 Only writes are tricky, but we're not handling this here, so no need to do
 anything special other than `get_option()`
