 **Returns**: a string indicating the UTC offset at the given time.
 
 This method is similar to `timeZone.getOffsetNanosecondsFor()`, but returns the offset formatted as a string, with sign, hours, and minutes.
+In the rare case where the offset is not aligned on a minute boundary, then seconds (and fractional seconds, if present) are also included in the returned string.
 
 If `timeZone` is a time zone constructed from a numeric UTC offset, this method returns the same value as `timeZone.id`.
