Feature #12578

When I first saw the instance assignments in Crystal, I was floored... I have looked at all 18 pages in this tracker and thought it "must" have been mentioned in here... but I don't see it... pardon me if I missed it...  

 BUT 

 so in Crystal, this : 

 ```ruby 
 class MyStuff 

   def initialize @thing_one , @thing_two 
   end 

 end 
 ``` 

 would replace : 

 ```ruby 
 class MyStuff 

   def initialize thing_one , thing_two 
     @thing_one = thing_one 
     @thing_two = thing_two 
   end 

 end 
 ``` 

 One of the things I loved about ruby was `attr_accessor` attr_accessor / `reader` reader / `writer`... writer...  

 I know in Crystal, it is a macro, but still at the millions of lines of boilerplate that would go away...  

 Has no one thought of stealing this from Crystal or is there a good reason this does not exist? ( and I will go sit down and color now )
