    module Property

      # Generates accessor method and sets configuration for Neo4j node properties.
      # The generated accessor is a simple wrapper around the #[] and
      # #[]= operators.
      #
      # ==== Types
      # If a property is set to nil the property will be removed.
      # A property can be of any primitive type (Boolean, String, Fixnum, Float) and does not
      # even have to be the same.
      #
      # Example:
      #   class Foo
      #     include Neo4j::NodeMixin
      #     property :age
      #   end
      #
      # Example:
      #   foo = Foo.new
      #   foo.age = "hej" # first set it to string
      #   foo.age = 42  # change it to a Fixnum
      #
      # However, you can specify an type for the index, see Neo4j::Index::Indexer#index
      #
      # ==== Example
      #   class Baaz; end
      #
      #   class Foo
      #     include Neo4j::NodeMixin
      #     property :name, :city # can set several properties in one go
      #     property :bar
      #   end
      #
      #   f = Foo.new
      #   f.bar = Baaz.new
      #
