This pull request adds support for data flow through getter/setter methods. It assumes that setter methods like
field=write to an instance variable named@field. This is to handle cases where the body of the setter method is not visible to the analysis. While this is an approximation, I'd expect very few cases of false flow. If my assumption turns out to be wrong we should make the analysis more precise.
