Subject: Calling a reader from a writer

class Test
  def x
    @x + '_instance'
  end

  def x=(v)
    @x = v
    self.x  # also tried `x'
  end
end

t = Test.new
puts t.x=('test_x')
  => test_x
puts t.x
  => test_x_instance

Why doesn't the first puts output 'test_x_instance'? I would think that
the self.x call in the writer would call the reader.

How can one call the reader from the writer method?
