Description

I was wrong about this, it is supported in Arrow. Addressed in PR: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12433
==========================
Base R support this, but currently Arrow does not.

a <- as.POSIXct("2022-02-25 00:00:01", tz = "Europe/London")
as.Date(a, tz = "Pacific/Marquesas") 
#> [1] "2022-02-24"
