Comment (by Rarst):

 From the perspective of Date/Time component: **absolutely do not add more
 `gmt_offset` operations**. Among many things it doesn't account for summer
 time (!) when based on `timezone_string`. We have some huge pending fixes
 for that at the moment.

 You do not want to ever have to use `gmt_offset` for anything and it's
 very unfortunate that we are not in practical position to drop it (or even
 further discourage) altogether.
