=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.

=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.

=head2 get_simple

Simple getter for hash-based objects which returns the value for the field
name passed as an argument.

return $self->{$get};
}
=head2 set_simple

=head2 get_component_class
=over 4
=item Arguments: $name
Returns: $component_class
=back
Returns the class name for a component; returns an object key if called on
an object, or attempts to return classdata referenced by _$name if called
on a class.

=over 4
=item Arguments: $name, $new_component_class
Returns: $new_component_class
=back
Sets a component class name; attempts to require the class before setting
but does not error if unable to do so. Sets an object key of the given name
if called or an object or classdata called _$name if called on a class.
