I'd like to be able to generate a compiled expression to set a property, given the lambda expression that provides the "get" method for a property.

Here's what I'm looking for:

public Action<int> CreateSetter<T>(Expression<Func<T, int>> getter)
{
    // returns a compiled action using the details of the getter expression tree, or null
    // if the write property is not defined.
}

I'm still trying to understand the various types of Expression classes, so if you can point me in the right direction that would be great.
