+ # From Imed Chihi (2014-06-04):
+ # We have finally "located" a precise official reference about the DST changes

+ # http://www.cabinet.gov.eg/Media/CabinetMeetingsDetails.aspx?id=347 ...
+ # [T]his (Arabic) site is not accessible outside Egypt, but the page ...

- # but that would imply a prediction of perpetual DST after March 2038
- # due to the year-2037 glitches. So, this table instead stops after
