In Ruby 1.9, once can create writers with

  attr :x=

I love this feature b/c it means I can just use #attr and not need the
other three attr_reader, attr_writer and attr_accessor.

It would be cool if we could make "boolean" readers too with,

  attr :x?

(P.S. Is the attr :x= feature going to get back ported to 1.8.8?)
