Description
We need to enhance method-purity detection.
example: this method (MADescription>>#accessor) is pure, but we indicate it as non-pure because. it writes an instance variable.
accessor
"Answer the access-strategy of the model-value described by the receiver."
^ accessor ifNil: [ accessor := self class defaultAccessor ]

Research direction
Start at the method-purity detection entry point for MADescription>>#accessor and trace how its instance-variable assignment is classified. Confirm the expected behavior using the supplied Smalltalk example; the work is done when this accessor is recognized as pure without weakening detection of genuinely impure methods.
