An example is the creation of the Reflector. It is suggested to synchronize this method.

                boolean useSuper,
                boolean fromInsideClass)
```
    Description copied from interface: MetaClass
    
    Sets the value of an attribute (field). This method is to support the Groovy runtime and not for general client API usage.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setAttribute in interface MetaClass
    
    Parameters:
    sender - The class of the object that requested the attribute
    receiver - The instance
    messageName - The name of the attribute
    messageValue - The value of the attribute
    useSuper - Whether to look-up on the super class or not
    fromInsideClass - Whether the call happened from the inside or the outside of a class
  - setProperty
```
public void setProperty(Class sender,
               Object receiver,
               String messageName,
               Object messageValue,
               boolean useSuper,
               boolean fromInsideClass)
```
    Description copied from interface: MetaClass
    
    Retrieves a property on the given receiver for the specified arguments. The sender is the class that is requesting the property from the object. The MetaClass will attempt to establish the method to invoke based on the name and arguments provided.
    The isCallToSuper and fromInsideClass help the Groovy runtime perform optimisations on the call to go directly to the super class if necessary
    
    Specified by:
    
    setProperty in interface MetaClass
    
    Parameters:
    sender - The java.lang.Class instance that is mutating the property
    receiver - The Object which the property is being set on
    messageName - The name of the property
    messageValue - The new value of the property to set
    useSuper - Whether the call is to a super class property
    fromInsideClass - ??

```
    Description copied from interface: MetaClass
