Instant class Absolute times

Represents a single instant in time as a Timespan since January 1, 1970 UTC.

In general, this will be more useful when converted to an OffsetDateTime or a ZonedDateTime.

var instant = Instant.now();
instant.atOffset(ZoneOffset(-7));
instant.inTimezone('America/Phoenix');
