[*Example [1](#nonexist-example-1)*: #include <chrono>#include <iostream>int main() {using namespace std::chrono; try {auto zt = zoned_time{"America/New_York",
 local_days{Sunday[2]/March/2016} + 2h + 30min}; } catch (const nonexistent_local_time& e) { std::cout << e.what() << '\n'; }}

Produces the output:

```
2016-03-13 02:30:00 is in a gap between
2016-03-13 02:00:00 EST and
2016-03-13 03:00:00 EDT which are both equivalent to
2016-03-13 07:00:00 UTC
