Subject: attr / attr_accessor

Hi Ruby Folk,


I'm quite a newbie in programming. Last year I came to perl and now I'm 
testing ruby.

I like the methods attr, attr_*. But there is one drawback. You can't tell the 
methode that there should be a standard code that will be executed on every 
access. IMHO The best would be a pre and a posthook. 

I use the module Class::Methodmaker in perl, were this is possible. Surely I 
can write (If I would know how) a own Class to handle this needs. But since 
attr_ is so a nice standandard feature I'm the opionion that the feature I 
ask for, would be a good enhancement. 

Happy New Year

Markus
