Will Noble updated CALCITE-6062:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
[This 
function|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/ce88348960e95e1c13da850b4422b2f49f022d93/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/runtime/SqlFunctions.java#L4333]
 that implements conversion from strings to {{TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE}} 
uses {{TimestampWithTimeZoneString}}, which seems to have been a subtle mistake.

That function is only used to implement {{CAST}} expressions from strings to TS 
w/ LTZ. Those expressions should allow for strings that do not have a time 
zone, e.g. {{CAST('2023-10-19 12:00:00' AS TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE)}}, 
but it currently cannot because the {{TimestampWithTimeZoneString}} class 
always expects a string with a time zone on the end.

In the case that no zone is included in the string, we should assume that the 
string expresses a timestamp in the data context time zone by default.
