Call me when you find two people who can agree on what this means.

We are not talking about implementing the POSiX argument to mktime, and
I dont think anyone on the list ever was. .is_dst is a bool flag for
'if set, the time represented is in the DST time, if not set, it is in
the non-DST time'.
'.first' doesnt even imply a bool. "First what?" someone might ask.
