Thanks for the info. I installed the attached to mention this.
As for leap second support into the past and future, that's a tricky
business indeed. Maybe the API should come with error bars? But I don't
know how you'd estimate the error.
Admittedly even calendrical support is dicey sufficiently far into the
past or future. Here's current tzdb:
$ TZ=UTC0 date -r 36028797018963968
Sun Jun 13 06:26:08 UTC 1141709097
That's the current prediction, but it ain't a-gonna happen.
