+ * #GDateTime is a structure that combines a Gregorian date and time
+ * into a single structure.  It provides many conversion and methods to
+ * manipulate dates and times.  Time precision is provided down to
+ * microseconds and the time can range (proleptically) from 0001-01-01
+ * 00:00:00 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59.999999.  #GDateTime follows POSIX
+ * time in the sense that it is oblivious to leap seconds.
  *
- * #GDateTime is an immutable object: once it has been created it cannot be
- * modified further. All modifiers will create a new #GDateTime.
+ * #GDateTime is an immutable object; once it has been created it cannot
+ * be modified further.  All modifiers will create a new #GDateTime.
+ * Nearly all such functions can fail due to the date or time going out
+ * of range, in which case %NULL will be returned.
  *
  * #GDateTime is reference counted: the reference count is increased by calling
  * g_date_time_ref() and decreased by calling g_date_time_unref(). When the
  * reference count drops to 0, the resources allocated by the #GDateTime
  * structure are released.
  *
- * Internally, #GDateTime uses the Proleptic Gregorian Calendar, the first
- * representable date is 0001-01-01. However, the public API uses the
- * internationally accepted Gregorian Calendar.
+ * Many parts of the API may produce non-obvious results.  As an
+ * example, adding two months to January 31st will yield March 31st
+ * whereas adding one month and then one month again will yield either
+ * March 28th or March 29th.  Also note that adding 24 hours is not
+ * always the same as adding one day (since days containing daylight
+ * savings time transitions are either 23 or 25 hours in length).
  *
  * #GDateTime is available since GLib 2.26.

+ * @short_description: A structure representing a time zone
+ * @see_also: #GDateTime
+ *
+ * #GTimeZone is a structure that represents a time zone, at no
+ * particular point in time.  It is refcounted and immutable.
+ *
+ * A time zone contains a number of intervals.  Each interval has
+ * an abbreviation to describe it, an offet to UTC and a flag indicating
+ * if the daylight savings time is in effect during that interval.  A
+ * time zone always has at least one interval -- interval 0.
+ *
+ * Every UTC time is contained within exactly one interval, but a given
+ * local time may be contained within zero, one or two intervals (due to
+ * incontinuities associated with daylight savings time).
+ *
+ * An interval may refer to a specific period of time (eg: the duration
+ * of daylight savings time during 2010) or it may refer to many periods
+ * of time that share the same properties (eg: all periods of daylight
+ * savings time).  It is also possible (usually for political reasons)
+ * that some properties (like the abbreviation) change between intervals
+ * without other properties changing.
+ *
+ * #GTimeZone is available since GLib 2.26.

+ * <varname>TZ</varname> environment variable (including %NULL).
+ *
+ * Valid RFC3339 time offsets are <literal>"Z"</literal> (for UTC) or

+ * g_time_zone_new_local() calls this function with the value of the
