    This is a Timestamp, that represents itself as UTC.

    Internally it stores exactly the same value as Timestamp, 

    so the following expression is always true:

        someTimestamp asUtcTimestamp = someTimestamp asLocalTimestamp

    But when printing, accessing hour, minute, ... and converting to Date and Time,

    it returns the values represented in the UTC zone instead of the local timezone.
