Public bug reported:

Starting this year Chile won't have a DST any more. Source:
https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/chile-abolishes-dst-2015.html

tzdata still contains the information that Chile will switch from UTC-3
to UTC-4 on April 27th 00:00 2015. At least that is what happens if I do
some tests in R:

as.POSIXct("2014-04-26 23:00", "America/Santiago") + 0 * 60 * 60
"2014-04-26 23:00:00 CLST"

as.POSIXct("2014-04-26 23:00", "America/Santiago") + 1 * 60 * 60
"2014-04-26 23:00:00 CLT"

as.POSIXct("2014-04-26 23:00", "America/Santiago") + 2 * 60 * 60
"2014-04-27 CLT"
