Example:

class User 
  include Aqua::Object
  attr_accessor :username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :cryped_password, :salt
  hide_instance_variables :password, :password_confirmation 
  # ... lots more user code here ...
end
In this case it is useful for omitting sensitive information while persisting the object, but 
maintaining the password and confirmation temporarily requires the use of instance variables.
