=item boolean

=item C<< qualifier( I<name> ) >>

Returns the value of the qualifier with I<name>.

=back

Additionaly, some objects (properties and parameters) can have a value.
Valued objects have the following additional methods:

=over

=item C<< value ( [ I<newvalue> ] ) >>

If the I<newvalue> list is specified, sets the value to that.  Returns the
current mapped value.  If the property is an array, and the method is used
in a scalar context, the values are join(', ')ed.

The return value is has been passed through the map_value() method.  When a
value is set, it will first pass through the unmap_value() method.  It is not
reccomended to use value($new) for setting mapped values as some values may
unmap to a range and cause an error.

=item C<< raw_value ( [ I<newvalue> ] ) >>

If the I<newvalue> list is specified, sets the value to that.  Returns the
current unmapped value.  If the property is an array, and the method is used
in a scalar context, the values are join(', ')ed.
