 # This kind of things had always been done this way in Argentina.

+# Hora de verano para la Republica Argentina (2000-10-01)
+# </a> says that standard time in Argentina from 1894-10-31
+# to 1920-05-01 was -4:16:48.25.  Go with this more-precise value
+# over Shanks.
+
+# Unless otherwise specified, data are from Shanks through 1992, from
+# the IATA otherwise.  As noted below, Shanks says that
+# America/Cordoba split into 7 subregions during 1991/1992, but we
+# haven't verified this yet so for now we'll keep it a single region.
