It would be even easier if we could put the read-accessor-code and
write-accessor-code in different methods.
class Dog {
multi method foo { ... }
multi method foo ($arg) is accessor { ... }
}
With this syntax, either method could be simply be omitted to create a
read-only or write-only accessor. The tricky part is getting the trait
on foo($) to override foo() correctly.
