+# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-18):
+# America/Chillicothe would be tricky, as it was a city of two-timers:
+# "To prevent a constant mixup at Chillicothe, caused by the courthouse
+#  clock running on central time and the city running on 'daylight saving'
+#  time, a third hand was added to the dial of the courthouse clock."
