I'm guessing you didn't read my code because it was based on Yves'. Yves
showed a single accessor method called inside_out, you complained that it
would requir lots of typing of refaddr to use that for every attribute in
the class so I gave an out-of-band accessor method _maker_.
The idea being you could just do
use My::OutOfBandLexicalThing qw( Attr Attr2 Attr3 );
and you'd get lexically scoped, overload worry free, out of band attrs
without any bothersome typing.

Since the exported closure was the only thing that let you access %attrib,
putting it inside %attrib rather than exporting it would definitely reduce
the accessibility of the attribute :-)
