It is not clear to me why we "need" this.  Rather than jumping right to 
"Here is the solution", can you instead try to shine some light on the 
problem you are trying to solve?

"Accessor" is a perfectly OK term, but remember, these are not records, 
and "record component" means something.  I think its OK to use accessor 
here, not because its what records do, but because we don't need to give 
people the idea that this has something to do with beans.
