LocalDateTime timestamp bug ?

[rd]

Hi, when I call the timestamp() function of a LocalDateTime, I don't get a UTC timestamp but a 'local' timestamp. Because timestamp is defined in the documentation as an UTC time this seems to be a bug to me.

Calling LocalDateTime utc().timestamp() returns the correct UTC timestamp, so I think this should replace the current timestamp() function.

I guess it depends on interpretation. I would argue that Timestamp, when declared by itself is UTC-based, whereas when returned from ))LocalDateTime(( reflects the local timezone settings. But I could be wrong.

Guenter?

Hmm, I am not sure what the original intent was when this was implemented. Since there is a workaround with utc().timestamp(), we should probably leave it as it is for now and document it.
