A method `name :: (self: *T, value: V) #set { ... }` (or `=> expr;`) is the
write counterpart of a `#get` accessor: `obj.name = rhs` dispatches to it as
`obj.name(rhs)` when no real field matches. Plumbed parallel to `#get`:
- lexer/token `#set`; `FnDecl.is_set` + `Function.is_set`; parsed in the same
marker slot as `#get` (no return type, exactly self + one value param).
- get+set coexistence: a setter registers/mangles/dispatches under an effective
`name$set` name (`$` is illegal in sx identifiers, so unmistakable), keeping a
same-name `#get` under the plain `name`. Resolution is declaration-order-
independent: a plain read query picks the non-setter, a `name$set` write query
picks the setter (accessorEffName / accessorNameMatches / structMethodFn).
- write dispatch in lowerAssignment via tryLowerPropertyAssignment: plain assign
synthesizes `obj.name$set(rhs)`; compound `OP=` is get-modify-set and
evaluates the receiver EXACTLY ONCE (bound to a synthetic local); read-only
(#get-only) and write-only (#set-only + compound) emit clear diagnostics; a
real field of the same name still wins. Multi-assign property targets dispatch
the setter too (tryLowerPropertyStore, via a pre-lowered-Ref binding).
Payoff: List gains a `len` #set, so `xs.len = n` works; the `.items.len = N`
write workarounds in sched.sx + ui/* + platform/* revert to `xs.len = N`.
issues/0160 records an optional-chain interaction surfaced by the review (a
pre-existing `?T` value-optional read miscompile that blocks getter-through-`?.`).

// `List(T).len` is a `#get`/`#set` property pair: `xs.len` reads the live

|
|
// `xs.len = 0` to clear the list without freeing its buffer — `cap` and the

// backing allocation are untouched, so appends reuse the same storage).
