One other thing. Internet RFC 8536 discusses TZif file truncation, and
says that TZif files should not be used to convert timestamps outside of
the truncated range. This discussion is improved in the latest draft for
RFC 8536's successor, here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-murchison-rfc8536bis/
which also talks about expiration of leap second tables.
Should the C++20 time library address the issues of TZif truncation and
leap second table expiration, or treat these issues as being out of
scope? Either way, some text would be advisable.
