Dave already replied while I was driving home so some replies maybe short. :)

No. :) I agree with Dave.
i.e. If I have aliased EST to America/New_York, could it return
America/New_York rather than 1? Both are true so it should be
Crap, my mail client crash and ate part of my reply.
I was considering a function to do this. If you look... I hid a solution in the
docs. :)
my $my_alias = %{ DateTime::TimeZone::Alias-aliases }-{ EST };
I didn't want a function named alias and another one named aliases. But - how

That isn't quite the same thing. The code I had in mind would need to
do:
--
my $dta = DateTime::TimeZone::Alias;
if ( not $dta-is_defined( EST ) ) {
$dta-add( EST = US/Eastern );
}
elsif ( ( $dta-is_alias(US/Eastern) and
$dta-value( EST ) eq $dta-value( US/Eastern )

Btw - US/Eastern is defined as an alias unless you removed it earler in the program.
Yeah, that is why I have to jump through more hoops in my example.
How would an add method that returns silently if an alias is already
my $dta = DateTime::TimeZone::Alias;
$dta-remove(EST);# Start with a clean slate
$dta-add(EST = US/Eastern); # Succeeds
$dta-add(EST = US/Eastern); # Succeeds
$dta-add(EST = America/New_York); # Succeeds
$dta-add(EST = America/Chicago); # Fails

Perhaps I'm not following closely enough, but this thread is confusing

Ok. It is your module so this is your call.
I disagree, but that is ok. This should end the thread.

I think DateTime::TimeZone::Alias 0.03 is really looking good. The
docs are excellent (small patch to fix typos included below).
I really like the new is_X subs, although in the case of the
is_alias() would it make sense to return the target of the alias?

No, any method that starts with is_ should return a boolean value (or only
be guaranteed to return such a thing). If you need
