Perhaps there are reasons to use an implementation that is not defined,
in terms of fromSeconds:

One of the reasons could be the time zone as you indicate.

Another may be the resolution (precision) of the time.

I guess that it makes more sense to define fromSeconds: in terms of
fromMilliseconds:  rather than the reverse which I'm doing here.


In any case, a Swazoo implementation could perhaps use different 
implementations in the case of Squeak 4.6 and in the case of Squeak 5/6.

It could use something like a check to see whether self respondsTo:
localOffsetSeconds and if not use the implementation in terms of fromSeconds:
