That was in my very first proposal:

"""
In other words, instead of localtime(dt, isdst=-1), we may want
 localtime(dt, which=0) where "which" is used to resolve the ambiguity:
"which=0" means return the first (in UTC order) of the two times and
"which=1" means return the second.  (In the non-ambiguous cases "which" is
ignored.)

The name did not catch up.
