  Description     : implementation of fast XS accessors without runtime compilation

  Class::XSAccessor::Array implements fast XS accessors both for getting
  at and setting an object attribute. Additionally, the module supports
  mutators and simple predicates (has_foo() like tests for definedness
  of an attributes). It works only with objects that are implemented as
  arrays. Refer to Class::XSAccessor (libclass-xsaccessor-perl) for an
  implementation that works with hash-based objects.
  .
  A simple benchmark showed more than a factor of two performance
  advantage over writing accessors in Perl.
