 407 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
 408 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
 409 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
 410 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
 411 
 412 # From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
 413 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at UTC-4
 414 # with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
 415 # just say it's at UTC-3; see, for example,
 416 # http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
 417 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
 418 # standard time, so let's do that here too.  This does not change UTC
 419 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations.  One minor
 420 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
 421 # setting for time stamps past 2038.
