I'd prefer `singleton_attr_accessor'.

I always define my own accessor-defining methods because I think the
non-word `attr' is just too damn ugly.  Among others, I have these:

   define-reader
   define-writer
   define-accessors

So I'd add `define-singleton-accessors'.

By the way, I also do this:

   define-aliases :new-1 => :old-1, :new-2 => :old-2

The arrow helps me remember which parameter is which.
