I think in 99.99% of the cases, this is an oversight on the
developer's part. We have had any number of bug reports complaining
about 'write-only' attributes. You should feel free to fix them when
you come across them. If you find an example of a write-only
attribute that is actually useful, I'd be interested to know about it!

Hi Tucker,
Some attributes can't be read back, contrary to what the docs say. I
think this is a bug but if this is by design, please let me know.
For example, lz.view.showhandcursor is a variable that is never set
by $lzc$set_showhandcursor() or setShowhandCursor().
If I look deep enough I'm sure I will find an example of a real
write-only attribute. Do you think the docs should handle this case?
Thanks!
Phil
