=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This is a C<Class::MOP::Method> subclass which is used interally
-by C<Class::MOP::Attribute> to generate accessor code. It can
-handle generation of readers, writers, predicate and clearer
-methods, both as closures and as more optimized inline methods.
+This is a subclass of <Class::MOP::Method> which is used by
+C<Class::MOP::Attribute> to generate accessor code. It handles
+generation of readers, writers, predicates and clearers. For each type
+of method, it can either create a subroutine reference, or actually
+inline code by generating a string and C<eval>'ing it.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
-=item B<new (%options)>
+=item B<< Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(%options) >>
-This creates the method based on the criteria in C<%options>,
-these options are:
+This returns a new C<Class::MOP::Method::Accessor> based on the
+C<%options> provided.
=over 4
-=item I<attribute>
-
-This must be an instance of C<Class::MOP::Attribute> which this
-accessor is being generated for. This paramter is B<required>.
-
-=item I<accessor_type>
-
-This is a string from the following set; reader, writer, accessor,
-predicate or clearer. This is used to determine which type of
-method is to be generated.
-
-=item I<is_inline>
-
-This is a boolean to indicate if the method should be generated
-as a closure, or as a more optimized inline version.
+=item * attribute
-=back
+This is the C<Class::MOP::Attribute> for which accessors are being
+generated. This option is required.
-=item B<accessor_type>
+=item * accessor_type
-This returns the accessor type which was passed into C<new>.
+This is a string which should be one of "reader", "writer",
+"accessor", "predicate", or "clearer". This is the type of method
+being generated. This option is required.
-=item B<is_inline>
+=item * is_inline
-This returns the boolean which was passed into C<new>.
+This indicates whether or not the accessor should be inlined. This
+defaults to false.
-=item B<associated_attribute>
+=item * name
-This returns the attribute instance which was passed into C<new>.
+The method name (without a package name). This is required.
-=item B<initialize_body>
+=item * package_name
-This will actually generate the method based on the specified
-criteria passed to the constructor.
+The package name for the method. This is required.

-=head2 Method Generators
-
-These methods will generate appropriate code references for
-the various types of accessors which are supported by
-C<Class::MOP::Attribute>. The names pretty much explain it all.

-=over 4
-
-=item B<generate_accessor_method>
-
-=item B<generate_accessor_method_inline>
-
-=item B<generate_clearer_method>
+=item B<< $metamethod->accessor_type >>
-=item B<generate_clearer_method_inline>
+Returns the accessor type which was passed to C<new>.
-=item B<generate_predicate_method>
+=item B<< $metamethod->is_inline >>
-=item B<generate_predicate_method_inline>
+Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the accessor is inlined.
-=item B<generate_reader_method>
+=item B<< $metamethod->associated_attribute >>
-=item B<generate_reader_method_inline>
+This returns the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> object which was passed to
+C<new>.
-=item B<generate_writer_method>
+=item B<< $metamethod->body >>
-=item B<generate_writer_method_inline>
+The method itself is I<generated> when the accessor object is
+constructed.
