+Aware datetime instances
+........................
+
+Users of pre-PEP implementations of ``tzinfo`` will not see any
+changes in the behavior of their aware datetime instances.  Two such
+instances that differ only by the value of the ``fold`` attribute will
+not be distinguishable by any means other than an explicit access to
+the ``fold`` value.
+
+On the other hand, if object's ``tzinfo`` is set to a fold-aware
+implementation, then the value of ``fold`` will affect the result of
+several methods but only if the corresponding time is in a fold or in
+a gap: ``utcoffset()``, ``dst()``, ``tzname()``, and ``timetuple()``.
+

 Combining and splitting date and time
