I'm not sure it answers the behavior I saw....

Well, the hardcoded "setValue" is a trivial example, and the end goal is to
really loop over all methods and then template something for each setter,
but handle other methods as well.

But doesn't this assume that there is a getter? I'm almost certain it does.
My class has no getters.

Again, no getters in my case! :)

Ok, where is this "so-called" ifIsSetter?! I don't see any such thing in
MethodTagsHandler. But please point me in the right direction if I'm
totally missing something obvious.

I still don't think you've explained why ifHasMethod without the
'parameters' does not work, and why ifHasMethod with the 'parameters'
displayed all methods when only a very specific one was requested. Or I'm
really missing something in your explanations.
I'll take another look at it later today. Thanks for the quick replies!
