Regulated constructors

[Jonathan F]

This idea is great! Dan Smith invited alternatives to the ‘regulated’
keyword. What about simply ‘write-only’ (AFAIK hyphenated keywords are on
the way in). It’s fairly self-explanatory, and also gives a rationale to
the poor developer (for what otherwise looks like a grab-bag of
restrictions). Dan nearly used this term in his explanation.

FWIW in documentation, maybe ‘larval’ should be changed to match the
keyword, to minimise the vocab to understand.

best wishes,
Jonathan
