The second feature has its uses. If I want wake up at 7 AM every weekday, I don't want my alarm clock ask me whether I mean standard or daylight saving time, but if I attempt to set it to 1:30 AM on the day when 1:30 AM happens twice, I don't want it to go off twice or divine which 1:30 AM I had in mind. I think stdlib should allow me to write a robust application that knows that some naive datetime objects correspond to two points in time and some correspond to none.

Really? Why would naive datetimes know that? I would expect that an aware datetime would have that information but not naive ones.
