    Sync zoneinfo database with tzdata2016a from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases
    
    * America/Cayman will not observe daylight saving this year after all.
        Revert our guess that it would.  (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)
    
    * Asia/Chita switches from +0800 to +0900 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00.
        (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.)
    
    * Asia/Tehran now has DST predictions for the year 2038 and later,
        to be March 21 00:00 to September 21 00:00.  This is likely better
        than predicting no DST, albeit off by a day every now and then.
    
    * America/Metlakatla switched from PST all year to AKST/AKDT on
        2015-11-01 at 02:00.  (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
    
    * America/Santa_Isabel has been removed, and replaced with a
        backward compatibility link to America/Tijuana.  Its contents were
        apparently based on a misreading of Mexican legislation.
    
    * Asia/Karachi's two transition times in 2002 were off by a minute.
        (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)
    
    * The Theory and asia files now mention the 2015 book "The Global
        Transformation of Time, 1870-1950", and cite a couple of reviews.
    
    * The America/Chicago entry now documents the informal use of US
        central time in Fort Pierre, South Dakota.  (Thanks to Rick
        McDermid, Matt Johnson, and Steve Jones.)
