Rails - Sep 2011 - What's the difference between mattr_accessor and cattr_accessor in ActiveSupport?

Hi,
I was reading source code of mattr_accessor and cattr_accessor in
ActiveSupport and found out that the method definitions are all most
identical. Except cattr_writer accepts a optional block.

I googled and read
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2203800/difference-between-mattr-accessor-and-cattr-accessor-in-activesupport.
That guy had the same question as me, but no one answered the question
accurately.

Module is the superclass of Class, is there any possible that just
define mattr_accessor in Module and
    alias_method cattr_accessor, mattr_accessor
in Class?
I think it''s more DRY right?

Can anyone help me?
Thank you!
