@wgtmac , thanks for the feedback. Please bear with me for a bit, as it is
first time I am touching ORC code base.
OK, I think ```TypeDescription``` is not a problem then since we set the
value at reader / writer, independently of the default that we use at creation
time. For reader, everything seems easy. However, for the writer, it is a bit
trickier since the stripe footer stores the information about the time zone,
hence it should be set beforehand using, e.g., the context or options objects.
Does that seem reasonable?
