Creating an DateTime<Tz> instance from a DateTime<Local>

[WhyNotHugo]

I'm trying to create a rrule::RRuleSet via its new() method, but can't figure out how to create a DateTime<Tz> instance (which is what this method requires).

I essentially have a DTSTART:19700101T000000 string as a starting point, and use the following to get a DateTime instance:

chrono::offset::Local.datetime_from_str(value, "%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ")?

However, this returns a DateTime<Local>, and I can't quite figure out how to convert that to DateTime<Tz>. I intuitively think that new should maybe have the signature fn new<T>(dt_start: DateTime<T>) where T: TimeZone. I've no idea if this makes sense for all the rest of codebase, but it would allow using any TimeZone (including Local).

For context, I'm trying to parse VTIMEZONE entries, so I'm trying to construct this RRuleSet to then add other relevant fields to it (e.g.: RDATE).

Actually, this seems to be what's missing for my approach to work. This would also cover #24 and #36. I might have a PoC for this soon.

Hey!

Would this work for you?

rrule::Tz::LOCAL.datetime_from_str(s, "%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ")?

Yup, it does, thanks. I think I was trying to use the wrong Local.
