Well, the function is meant to be Oracle-compatible, so where's the
use case?
I'm pretty sure that it's been years since any standard time zones
weren't an integral number of minutes off UTC, which may explain
why Oracle hasn't felt the need for this. I notice that the SQL
standard itself also believes that timezone offsets must be an
integral number of minutes.
