Hmm, I think we are getting away from the real issue. Finding a way to hook up lexicals with attributes is not the real point, though interesting in itself. The real point is to make a succinct way to declare instance data.

So, don't use an attributed declaration. Instead, use a syntax like: field ('name', options); that will create the underlying hash itself, rather than the caller making one.

The underlying hash can either be "hands off", or there can be a way to get to it (return value from that call?) if you really want to support it.

{ # extra scope
$xx= field qw/xx private/;
sub something
 {
 # I use that instance data internally.
 # ...
 ... $$xx{$id} ...
 }

Being private, no access method is autogenerated, and the returned ref is the only way to get to it.
