Your not most people. :)

I really think that everything in DT::TZ::Alias is needed functionality so I'm not
against folding at all.
The options are:
1) DT::TZ::Alias lives as a separate module that I keep update to with DT::TZ internal
changes (what I'd planned on).
2) DT::TZ::Alias is included with DT::TZ.
3) DT::TZ::Alias is cut up and included with various DT::TZ modules.
I favor option 1 or 2 as the DT::TZ::A name really carries a lot of descriptive
meaning.
