+Numbers Authority (IANA) Time Zone Database.  It is updated periodically to
+reflect changes made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets,
+and daylight saving time rules.  Additionally, this package provides a C++
+interface for working with the @code{date} library. @code{date} provides
+comprehensive support for working with dates and date-times, which this package
+exposes to make it easier for other R packages to utilize.  Headers are
+provided for calendar specific calculations, along with a limited interface for
+time zone manipulations.")
