module TZInfo

  # A proxy class representing a timezone with a given identifier. TimezoneProxy
  # inherits from Timezone and can be treated like any Timezone loaded with
  # Timezone.get.

  # The first time an attempt is made to access the data for the timezone, the 
  # real Timezone is loaded. If the proxy's identifier was not valid, then an 
  # exception will be raised at this point.  
  class TimezoneProxy < Timezone
    # Construct a new TimezoneProxy for the given identifier. The identifier
    # is not checked when constructing the proxy. It will be validated on the
    # when the real Timezone is loaded.
