Is the more common method for this.
On a related note, I actually found myself using that construction
frequently enough that I finally put together an attribute trait to take "is
=> 'rwp'" (read-write-private) which then sets "is => 'ro', writer =>
'_$name'". It's on the CPAN at MooseX::AttributeShortcuts... The next
version is likely to be parameterizable, so '_set_$name' could be the
generated writer name.
_set_$name is the convention pretty much everywhere I see it done so
that should be the default.
It'd also be nice if you could steal Moo's is => 'lazy' shortcut since
I'd like that to work for people doing Moose stuff as well in order to
be able to de-experimental it since it's rather nicer than lazy_build
