Summary

  • Updates README.md to explain that definitions in this repo represent statutory holidays by default, with type: informal as the explicit opt-in for culturally recognized but non-statutory holidays
  • Updates doc/SYNTAX.md to connect the formal term to the more commonly used word "statutory" so contributors understand the relationship between the two

Companion PR in holidays gem: holidays/holidays#462

Test plan

  • Review README and SYNTAX.md changes for accuracy and clarity
