I've found the comments in the database files (e.g. North America https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/main/northamerica ) to be an interesting documentation of the history of the definition of time for various areas. For example, Indiana https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/main/northamerica#L846

Took a class with professor Paul Eggert at UCLA, the person who maintains this db. Super chill dude. In his exams, he makes sure to add a question he doesn't know the answer to himself.

sounds reasonable: `#` is the standard prompt marker when you're root, `/` is the path they're currently at.
