But seriously.  Leap seconds occur every couple of years, either on July
30th and Dec 31.  Sometimes both.  And sometimes every consecutive year for
a couple of years on the run.

It's theoretically possible for leap seconds to be introduced at the end of
March and September. It's never happened but it might, so I suppose software
should allow for the possibility.
