> It makes sense to use date cos you wanna get offset by timezone in some
particular date - so you'll probably call this function on column with Date
data type
Timezones change for daylight savings at various times of day (typically at
night), so a single date can have multiple timezone offsets. For this reason,
it makes more sense to me to use a Timestamp as the parameter here.
