I was referring to twisted.python.reflect.PropertyAccessor which uses a
metaclass to manage access to its properties. It is marked as deprecated
since Twisted 12.1.0, so I guess there still need to support it on both
Python 2.x and Python 3, which is why I was looking for this
compatibility layer.

Granted, the code is trivial. So it's OK to replicate it in t.p.compat
then? If there's a need for this code at all, of course :)
