A good point - are you providing these methods for some of those

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

What I want is the reverse of what alias does. Or rather I'd like
timezone to remember what value it was created with. If I create an
