=head1 NAME 

DBIx::Class::AccessorGroup -  Lets you build groups of accessors

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class lets you build groups of accessors that will call different
getters and setters.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 mk_group_accessors

=over 4

=item Arguments: $group, @fieldspec

Returns: none

=back

Creates a set of accessors in a given group.

$group is the name of the accessor group for the generated accessors; they
will call get_$group($field) on get and set_$group($field, $value) on set.

@fieldspec is a list of field/accessor names; if a fieldspec is a scalar
this is used as both field and accessor name, if a listref it is expected to
be of the form [ $accessor, $field ].

=head2 mk_group_ro_accessors

=over 4

=item Arguments: $group, @fieldspec

Returns: none

=back

Creates a set of read only accessors in a given group. Identical to
<L:/mk_group_accessors> but accessors will throw an error if passed a value
rather than setting the value.

=head2 mk_group_wo_accessors

=over 4

=item Arguments: $group, @fieldspec

Returns: none

=back

Creates a set of write only accessors in a given group. Identical to
<L:/mk_group_accessors> but accessors will throw an error if not passed a
value rather than getting the value.

=cut

=head2 make_group_accessor

=item Arguments: $group, $field

Returns: $sub (\CODE)

=back

Returns a single accessor in a given group; called by mk_group_accessors
for each entry in @fieldspec.

=head2 set_simple

=head2 get_component_class

if called or an object or classdata called _$name if called on a class.
