Subject: ruby idiom for attribute definition?


Hey!

What do you guys do when you have a class with lots of simple attributes?

Do you use attr_reader, and attr_writer shortcuts with each of the attributes?
Or do you use a singe method (say, object.set('attr', 'val') for all of them? 
Or do you manually create each of the reader/writer methods?

Also, how many attributes does it take to be considered "alot"?

( I've got a really small class going, with about 9 or 10 simple attributes -
 each of them readable and writeable. )


Thanks!

Beers,

Corey
