I often feel the need to define an accessor/mutator combination when I want certain attributes to be automatically converted from and to a dedicated value object. Since this logic is reusable across various models but not necessarily on equal named attributes, I think the most clean way to implement this kind of functionality is when custom casts can be defined.
Looking forward to your feedback.
