It’s been a while since I’ve written Ruby but I have written quite a bit of it in the past.  Did something change?  As far as I know attribute accessors are basically like properties.  

As far as forwarding goes, I have worked on a totally separate proposal for forwarding and have a second draft of that close to complete.  I don’t see how the two are related.
