# UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
# rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
# stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
! # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at UTC-4
# with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
! # just say it's at UTC-3; see, for example,
# http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
# We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
# standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
# offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
# plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
