    This class represents time values in milliSeconds starting some time in the past,

    which were created in another (explicit) timezone.

    Internally, they keep the milliseconds based on UTC time (just like the other timestamps),

    so the time values can be compared easily.

    However, wehn printed, the original timezone information is taken into account.

    Also Note:

        On UNIX, osTime can only hold dates between 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z and 2038-01-19T00:00:00Z

        However, timestamp instances can now hold negative osTime values (which are timestamps

        before 1.1.1970 and greater than 4294967295 (2^32-1) for timestamps after 2038-01-19.

    [example:]

      the current time as local time:

        Transcript showCR:Timestamp now

      the current time as utc time:       

        Transcript showCR:UtcTimestamp now

      same:

        Transcript showCR:Timestamp now asUtcTimestamp

      the current time in NewYork:
