I didn’t succeed in calling SET LOCAL TIMEZONE from within the function. Could be I missed something, then Google (stackoverflow) pointed me to set_config().

I did manage to apply it to the second function header, which I think behaves such that the time zone change stays within function scope. Right now I’m not 100% sure that I verified that. More to check tomorrow.
Frankly, I do hope that you’re right here, that would make my work easier.
