This class while loading changes the default naming policy for the package so that accessors are separated into get and set methods. The get methods have the same name as the accessor, while set methods are prefixed with "set_". If you define an attribute with a leading underscore, then the set method will start with "_set_". If you explicitly set a "reader" or "writer" name when creating an attribute, then this policy skips that attribute. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/MooseX-Policy-SemiAffordanceAccessor/
