    <longdescription>
        Properties are a feature in python that allow accessor functions (i.e. getters and setters) to masquerade as
        regular attributes. This makes it possible to provide transparent APIs for classes that need to cache results,
        lazily load data, maintain invariants, or react in any other way to attribute access.

        Unfortunately, making a property requires an annoying amount of boilerplate code. There are a few ways to
        do it, but the most common and most succinct requires you to decorate two functions
        (with two different decorators) and to type the name of the attribute three times.

        The autoprop module simplifies this process by searching your class for accessor methods and adding properties
        corresponding to any such methods it finds.
