=head1 NAME
Class::Accessor::Grouped - 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.
If you want to mimic Class::Accessor's mk_accessors $group has to be 'simple'
to tell Class::Accessor::Grouped to use its own get_simple and set_simple
methods.
@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 ].

=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.

Returns: none
=back
Creates a set of write only accessors in a given group. Identical to

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.

=over 4
=item Arguments: $field
Returns: $value
=back
Simple getter for Classes and hash-based objects which returns the value for
the field name passed as an argument. This behaves much like
L<Class::Data::Accessor> where the field can be set in a base class,
inherited and changed in subclasses, and inherited and changed for object
instances.

=item Arguments: $field, $new_value
Returns: $new_value
=back
Simple setter for Classes and hash-based objects which sets and then returns
the value for the field name passed as an argument. When called on a hash-based
object it will set the appropriate hash key value. When called on a class, it
will set a class level variable.
B<Note:>: This method will die if you try to set an object variable on a non
hash-based object.

Gets the value of the specified component class.

Inherited accessor that automatically loads the specified class before setting
it. This method will die if the specified class could not be loaded.

__PACKAGE__->result_class('MyClass');

Returns a list of 'parent' or 'super' class names that the current class inherited from.
