Subject: [Rd] New leap second end of 2016 / beginning 2017 (depending on TZ)
Message-ID: <CAPRP4-ewTBVtMKb7Lhec8=YvDscFePTH-Lqif69osgOjdRkbbg@mail.gmail.com>

As R is sophisticated enough to track leap seconds,

   ?.leap.seconds

we'd need to update our codes real soon now again:

(and those of you who want second precision in R in 2017 need to start
working with 'R patched' or 'R devel' ...)
