Basically it's good that there a particular programming environments
that handle leap seconds internally.

As far as I know there's also Java which does some kind of intermnal
smearing (UTC-SLS), and also Python can do this.

The problem I see is if such an application has to exchange date which
has been written using a different programming environment.
