+=head1 USAGE NOTES
+
+If you have a datetime column with the C<timezone> extra setting, and subsenquently
+create/update this column with a DateTime object in the L<DateTime::TimeZone::Floating>
+timezone, you will get a warning (as there is a very good chance this will not have the
+result you expect). For example:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', extra => { timezone => "America/Chicago" } }
+ );
+
+ my $event = $schema->resultset('EventTZ')->create({
+ starts_at => DateTime->new(year=>2007, month=>12, day=>31, ),
+ });
+
+The warning can be avoided in several ways:
+
+=over
+
+=item Fix your broken code
+
+When calling C<set_time_zone> on a Floating DateTime object, the timezone is simply
+set to the requested value, and B<no time conversion takes place>. It is always a good idea
+to be supply explicit times to the database:
+
+ my $event = $schema->resultset('EventTZ')->create({
+ starts_at => DateTime->new(year=>2007, month=>12, day=>31, time_zone => "America/Chicago" ),
+ });
+
+=item Suppress the check on per-column basis
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', extra => { timezone => "America/Chicago", floating_tz_ok => 1 } }
+ );
+
+=item Suppress the check globally
+
+Set the environment variable DBIC_FLOATING_TZ_OK to some true value.
