The problem is in getting the name of the hash.

I was thinking that a reference to the hash is passed to the attribute handler. I see now that the problem isn't finding the hash, but deciding on the name of the accessor to go with it! I suppose that's a flaw/oversight of the attribute stuff.

Isn't there a way to get a symbol's name given a ref? Maybe it only works for functions or when debug mode is enabled...? But I thought I read about that somewhere.

Update: I was thinking of the *whatever{NAME} syntax, which needs a glob not a ref.

Outside of PadWalker and *whatever{NAME} there is nothing that I'm aware of.
