On platforms using ‘configure’ option ‘--with-internal-tzcode’, additional values ‘"internal"’ and (on macOS only) ‘"macOS"’ are accepted for the environment variable ‘TZDIR’. (See ‘?TZDIR’.)
On macOS, ‘"macOS"’ is used by default if the system timezone database is a newer version than that in the R installation.
