I am designing a new schema from scratch.  Which type is more natural to
work with, a timestamp with a timezone or without a timezone?  I read
the 7.4 documentation on timezones two or three times but I'm still not
really sure.  The fact that the default is without time zone suggests
that without is more natural.  But I have a vague preference for with
time zone.  Can someone push me in the right direction?
