Have you considered returning false on isReadable() and isWritable() for 
methods, whose only statement is throwing? I.e. when a getter or setter 
unconditionally throws without any other statements present, they are 
not marked as readable or writable.

Otherwise this essentially "punishes" providing better exceptions in a 
getter or setter, and serves also cases where the LSP inheritance forces 
presence of a getter/setter, but still shall not be allowed on the 
specific instance.


Thanks,
Bob
