Description

`us_dst_rules` public static functions

```
static time_is_dst_result 
local_is_dst(const date_type & d, const time_duration_type & td);
```
Calculates if the given local time is dst or not.
Determines if the time is really in DST or not. Also checks for invalid and ambiguous.

static bool is_dst_boundary_day(date_type d);

static date_type local_dst_start_day(year_type year);

static date_type local_dst_end_day(year_type year);

```
static time_duration_type dst_offset();
```
