+    <longdescription>
+        Properties are a feature in python that allow accessor functions (i.e. getters and setters) to masquerade as
+        regular attributes. This makes it possible to provide transparent APIs for classes that need to cache results,
+        lazily load data, maintain invariants, or react in any other way to attribute access.
+
+        Unfortunately, making a property requires an annoying amount of boilerplate code. There are a few ways to
+        do it, but the most common and most succinct requires you to decorate two functions
+        (with two different decorators) and to type the name of the attribute three times.
+
+        The autoprop module simplifies this process by searching your class for accessor methods and adding properties
+        corresponding to any such methods it finds.
