well... I do have @rw and @ro vars in the code that the Autoload checks against... And I don't protect against truly malicious code, it's all company internal. I basically wrote a Base class and want people to use it without too much effort... and handle all the 'if this is a reference to a hash, do this, if it a reference to an array...' so, the accessors are just supposed to be syntactic sugar. I don't like all the {''} extras...

So, it is basically my way of using the 'public' interface of the class... What it does allow me is that when someone uses these accessors, I don't give away references to the data, but make sure that only copies are passed.

If thatsyntactic sugar is used.

also, I admit I am not concerned about speed.
