Rails - Apr 2010 - time_zone_select :priority_zones not working properly

I sent this earlier but I don''t think it ever came through. Sorry if
this is a reposting.

When using :priority_zones for time_zone_select in a manner described 
by the API docs for ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper I''m getting 
errors. 
Here is an API docs example: 
time_zone_select( "user", ''time_zone'',
TimeZone.us_zones, :default =>
"Pacific Time (US & Canada)") 

When using this code I get "uninitialized constant 
ActionView::CompiledTemplates::TimeZone". 

The first thing I noticed was that TimeZone is camel cased. This seems 
confusing to me considering TZInfo::Timezone is proper cased. I tried 
using proper cased Timezone and continued to get the same error. Next, 
I tried using TZInfo::Timezone, this worked. 

time_zone_select( "user", ''time_zone'', 
TZInfo::Timezone.us_zones, :default => "Pacific Time (US &
Canada)")

It seems that I''m either doing it wrong, there is a different way to 
do it in Rails 3.0, the documentation is wrong, or there is a bug 
(understandable since I''m using Rails 3.0 beta). 

Can anybody shed light on this? 

Documentation:
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelp...

The documentation might be outdated. Here''s a ticket I found. It
possibly
never got updated.
