     *
     * ```
     * $entity->set('name', 'Andrew');
     * ```
     *
     * It is also possible to mass-assign multiple properties to this entity
     * with one call by passing a hashed array as properties in the form of
     * property => value pairs
     *
     * ### Example:
     *
     * ```
     * $entity->set(['name' => 'andrew', 'id' => 1]);
     * echo $entity->name // prints andrew
     * echo $entity->id // prints 1

     *
     * Some times it is handy to bypass setter functions in this entity when assigning
     * properties. You can achieve this by disabling the `setter` option using the

     * ```
     * $entity->set('name', 'Andrew', ['setter' => false]);
     * $entity->set(['name' => 'Andrew', 'id' => 1], ['setter' => false]);
     * ```
     *
     * Mass assignment should be treated carefully when accepting user input, by default
     * entities will guard all fields when properties are assigned in bulk. You can disable
     * the guarding for a single set call with the `guard` option:
     *
     * ```
     * $entity->set(['name' => 'Andrew', 'id' => 1], ['guard' => true]);
     * ```
     *
     * You do not need to use the guard option when assigning properties individually:
     *
     * ```
     * // No need to use the guard option.
     * $entity->set('name', 'Andrew');
     * ```
     *
     * @param string|array $property the name of property to set or a list of
     * properties with their respective values
     * @param mixed $value The value to set to the property or an array if the
     * first argument is also an array, in which case will be treated as $options
     * @param array $options options to be used for setting the property. Allowed option
