  | Someone should clean up this mess.

No, they probabky shouldn't, in general.

That source comes from the tz project (currently from
tzcode2022a) with local modifications.

I think upstream mostly uses ts=4 (or more likely
the emacs equivalent).   we mostky use tab, and view
with ts=8 and yes, that can mead to ugly results.

But to ease merging of future versions, this should be
touched as little as possible.

ps: one way and another we have plenty of localtime
testing, not all in tests/libc.  At least for general
correctness.  I don't know if all the various hard casez
are as well tested locally, but changes that would
affect thise generally come from upstream.   Lots of
people do lots of tests on the upstream code.
