Feature #6198: public/protected/private with attr_*

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
• Target version: -

[riskwa (riskwa anon)]

I'd like to set visibility like this:

class X
protected attr_accessor :x, :y
end

attached patch(for 1.9.3-p125) is sample implementation (it seems to pass test-all)

• make attr_* to return array of method-symbols which attr_* concerns (e.g. [:x, :x=, :y, :y=])
• make public/protected/private to accept array of symbols

This issue is strongly related to #3753.

There's no use for private attr_reader, attr_writer, etc.
And protected is not encouraged enough for new features. So I reject this.
