So the library does a little bit more than just deal with shifting timezones which as you put can be a little annoying.

I would take a look at the docs and see what else the library can provide before you start quoting the interface incorrectly. :)

As for the name I considered other things most lead to namespace pollution. You are right I might be able to clear up the reference for people who dont know "Back to the Future" series.

Aren't you worried that someone, somewhere might actually still own the rights to that trademark, and might, one day, come to you and ask for money? After all, you're clearly exploiting the original trademark for your own gain.

I know, I know, we all love an '80s inside-joke, but I think this is just a bit too far.

(great lib btw, datetime has always been a bloody pain, for no good reason.)
