Details
This function is useful for aliasing attributes to improve execution speed. Calling the function created
with makegetter() executes more quickly than accessing the attribute directly.
Creating a getter function is only useful if it is going to be called several times. Otherwise, the
overhead of creating the getter function outweighs the overhead of accessing the attribute directly.
Example
getlevel = makegetter(smua.source, "levelv")
v = getlevel()
Creates a getter function called getlevel.
When getlevel() is called, it returns the value of smua.source.levelv.
