* Persist {@link DateTime} as a string of three parts:
* <ul>
* <li>the {@code DateTime} transformed into UTC time, formatted as such: {@code yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS}</li>
* <li>the underscore symbol (_)</li>
* <li>the id of the {@code DateTime}'s original time zone (for example Europe/London or UTC)</li>
* </ul>
* This user-type was created to workaround Hibernate's <a href="https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-5574">HHH-5574</a>
* bug by storing the complete {@code DateTime} data, including the specific time zone, not just the offset (ala ISO 8601), in
* one single, sortable field.
