To keep things simple, I changed TimeProvider.GetLocalNow().LocalDateTime to TimeProvider.GetUtcNow().LocalDateTime. It produces the same value. The difference is that DateTimeOffset is always in UTC. Also, it's less weird (for me). I expect that TimeProvider.GetLocalNow().DateTime will return Kind=Local, which is an incorrect assumption.

Looks great! Thanks a lot for this great contribution ❤️

5.6.0 "nightly builds" including your PR are now available on the MyGet feed. Could you please give 'em a try to confirm this does what you wanted? 😃

I would love to, but the issue is that our solution is targeting net7. Migration to net8 is in process but still needs to be done. This PR (without BCL) was a gift for a future me.

I hit the time issue while using BCL package under net7.
