This is simply wrong: in py3k we have the timezone class that
implements tzinfo interface.

I would go one step further: we should review the examples in datetime
module documentation and use aware datetime objects unless the point
of the example is to demonstrate a naive datetime.  We should also
replace examples that use sample implementations of tzinfo to use the
timezone class.
