canonical rendering writes full seconds. There is no implicit conversion
between the offset and local kinds; assigning one to the other is an error.
The four types take a bare timestamp and never a quoted string, so a document
that writes a date-time with quotes does not decode into them, and neither
`encoding.TextUnmarshaler` nor the embedded `time.Time` changes that.

returned from `UnmarshalTOML` halts the decode and propagates wrapped with the

### Custom decoding: `encoding.TextUnmarshaler`
A destination type that implements `encoding.TextUnmarshaler` receives a TOML
string as its text content, the rule `encoding/json` follows:
```go
func (ip *IP) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error
```
The decoder looks for the method on the destination and on its address, so a
pointer-receiver `UnmarshalText` is invoked on an addressable struct field, and
the elements of a slice destination are reached the same way. The text path
applies to TOML strings only: every other value kind keeps its own rule, so
`r = 1` does not reach a receiver that expects text. An error from
`UnmarshalText` halts the decode and propagates with the key path and the
prefix `unmarshal text:`, for example `addr: unmarshal text: not an address`.
[`UnmarshalTOML`](#custom-decoding-unmarshaler) wins over `UnmarshalText` when
a type implements both, and the four [date-time
types](#date-time-values) are excluded: a quoted string stays a string and
never becomes a `time.Time` or one of the local wrappers.
### Durations
TOML has no duration type, so `time.Duration` has a rule of its own. The
encoder writes the canonical Go form in a TOML string, `1h30m0s`, and the
decoder reads that string back with `time.ParseDuration`. A bare integer is
still the nanosecond count it has always been, so `from_int = 5400000000000`
and `from_text = "1h30m"` decode to the same duration. Text that
`time.ParseDuration` rejects, `d = "90"` among it, fails with
`interpres: invalid duration "90"`.

### Custom encoding: `encoding.TextMarshaler`
A type that implements `encoding.TextMarshaler` is encoded as a TOML string
holding the text the method returns, which is the rule `encoding/json` follows:
```go
func (ip IP) MarshalText() ([]byte, error)
```
The encoder looks for the method on the value and on its address, so a
pointer-receiver `MarshalText` is found on a struct field of an addressable
value (pass a pointer to `Marshal`) and always on a slice element. `net.IP`,
`netip.Addr` and user types follow this rule, and a struct that implements the
interface becomes a string rather than a table. `MarshalTOML` wins when a type
implements both, the four [date-time types](#date-time-values) keep their bare
timestamp form, and text that is not valid UTF-8 is an error rather than a
replacement character.
A duration carries no text method of its own; see [Durations](#durations) for
its rule.
