I’m not sure this is a specific programming choice of sorts or if there is any reason for it, but why is Bone.roll not a thing while edit_bone.roll is a thing?

I’m sure that accessing the specific value is simple enough, however it would be nice not to have to go poking around and changing bone mode to get a read only value output.

I’ve run into this problem in my addon. It’s a vexing issue, because the math is pretty hard.
