"""The accessor module offers two important front-end functions:
kgetattr and ksetattr. These functions allow retrieving attribute values
from objects much in the same way as getattr/setattr allow, but with two
important differences:
    - They follow a dot hierarchy to retrieve or modify any value
      reachable from the object.
    - They cache the method used to access a certain attribute and reuse
      it the next time the value is retrieved.
