If we all understand that '2015-03-08T12:00:00-05:00',

and '2015-03-09T04:00:00+11:00' are different spellings of the same time,
where is
a bug in the following calculation?
>>> print(lt)
2015-03-07 12:00:00-05:00
>>> lt += timedelta(1)
>>> print(lt)

Well, let's say I live in New York, so all winter long I've been seeing things like "2015-01-17 9:37:51-05:00", etc. and then the time switches in March and I fail to notice that the "-05:00" is still
"-05:00" and not "-04:00" -- especially since my watch, clock, smart phone, etc., don't display the offset -- well, something bad will happen: exactly what depends on what the user was expecting when
adding a day.
