Dealing With Time-zones一文中介绍了Rails的TimeZone类，它可以用来转换不同时区的本地时间
今天看看tzinfo_timezone插件，它是对TZInfo库的封装，我们需要首先运行gem install tzinfo来安装tzinfo
该插件安装了一个TimeZone类的replacement类，然后我们使用local_to_utf和utc_to_local方法来替代以前的adjust和unadjust方法
看看代码就清除了，首先是init.rb:

require 'tzinfo_timezone'

# remove the existing TimeZone constant
Object.send(:remove_const, :TimeZone)

# Use TzinfoTimezone as the TimeZone class
Object::TimeZone = TzinfoTimezone

注释已经很清除了，用TzinfoTimezone类来替换TimeZone类
然后就是lib/tzinfo_timezone.rb:

require 'tzinfo'

class TzinfoTimezone
  MAPPING = {
    "International Date Line West" => "Pacific/Midway",
    "Midway Island"                => "Pacific/Midway",
