I wasn't trying to and I do believe you. I guess I just thought the notion
of 25 location-based timezone values was intrinsic enough to include in the
basic definition of things. But now I realize that this would be easy enough
to implement in a subclass of tzinfo, therefore there is no need for what I
propose.

Is that what you're trying to get me to see? (Go ahead and hit me on the
head with a sledgehammer if necessary. I'm worn out and need to be
bludgeoned with the obvious.)
