+=head2 New C<:writer> attribute on field variables
+
+Classes defined using C<use feature 'class'> are now able to automatically
+create writer accessors for scalar fields, by using the C<:writer> attribute,
+similar to the way that C<:reader> already creates reader accessors.

+        field $x :reader :writer :param;
