## Description

### `us_dst_rules` public static functions

1.     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.

2.     static bool is_dst_boundary_day(date_type d);

3.     static date_type local_dst_start_day(year_type year);

4.     static date_type local_dst_end_day(year_type year);

5.     static time_duration_type dst_offset();
