Unfortunately, time_zone_base is not able to handle "any fashion you like", e.g., the Olsen database. It assumes exactly 2 switches per year, whereas there are cases that require 1 or 3 time zone changes in a single year.
Well maybe, although some of this might be treated a bit differently. I guess I'll have to look those examples up, but a "1 time per year" sounds more like a permanent shift in base time from UTC then dst change. And not sure what you'd do with 3 either. If that's the case, v2 will have to treat these events as a list. Jeff
