[tz] Questions About tz database

[Jon Skeet]

I think you're misinterpreting the data - you've missed the "2019 to max"
rule of the second Sunday in April. That "max" part means that it continues
until further notice. So basically in any given year (in the range shown),
there are two rules active: one transition in April and one in September.

I would expect any established IANA database code to handle this with no
problems. Here's the set of transitions generated by Noda Time, for
America/Santiago between 2015 and 2030 for example:
https://nodatime.org/tzvalidate/generate?version=2022g&zone=America/Santiago&startYear=2015&endYear=2030
