Description: Input latitude and longitude values or an 'sf/sfc' POINT
        object and get back the time zone in which they exist. Two
        methods are implemented. One is very fast and uses 'Rcpp' in
        conjunction with data from the 'Javascript' library
        (<https://github.com/darkskyapp/tz-lookup-oss/>). This method
        also works outside of countries' borders and in international
        waters, however speed comes at the cost of accuracy - near time
        zone borders away from populated centres there is a chance that
        it will return the incorrect time zone. The other method is
        slower but more accurate - it uses the 'sf' package to
        intersect points with a detailed map of time zones from here:
        <https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder/>. The
        package also contains several utility functions for helping to
        understand and visualize time zones, such as listing of world
        time zones, including information about daylight savings times
        and their offsets from UTC. You can also plot a time zone to
        visualize the UTC offset over a year and when daylight savings
        times are in effect.
