For short names, that might be a good idea. But for long names, it would
break this:
| name
| Returns the name of the time zone. If this value is passed to
Attached is the above module. Unless there's strenuous objections I'll
CPAN it. I just wish for this and for ::Alias that we could hook in
better without messing with the internals.
While I'm thinking of it, I'd like to be able to set names and
short-names for offsets. I have a list of short names
No, I would like this too.
Perhaps the functionality can be rolled into DT::Alias somehow. They
seem related...

Awww - I understand what your asking for now.

I don't like that at all. You really should be creating new classes with your
spec

A good point. This is needed so that when we serialize DateTime
objects, we don't need to serialize the timezone object too.
A good point - are you providing these methods for some of those
`other' :) persistence tools ?
Storable:
$dt->STORABLE_freeze
$dt->STORABLE_thaw

DT::TZ::Alias doesn't know _anything_ about namespaces. It is wholly dependent on
DT::TZ.
