What do people think? I can provide patches for this if I'm not the only one who'd find it useful.

No, I would like this too.
Perhaps the functionality can be rolled into DT::Alias somehow. They seem related...
Nah, it has to be a patch on the main DateTime::TimeZone modules. They need to be altered to set the name on objects to the name provided.
Maybe there should be an extra accessor ->link_name. (They're called links in the TimeZone innards). Then when ->time_zone_short_name is called and it has no value, it return ->link_name. Same for long_name.
Cheers! Rick
