Let me just chime in with my support for John's basic idea. I would
definitely prefer that it be easy to arrange things such that
$obj.foo = 'bar'
winds up invoking a method on $obj with 'bar' as an argument, rather
than invoking a method on $obj that returns an lvalue to which
'bar' is then assigned. (Yes, like Ruby's def foo=; I have a Rubyometer
and I'm not afraid to use it!) It doesn't need to be the default
rw accessor behavior, but I would like it to be accomplishable without
jumping through a lot of hoops.
