Yes, that's one. But we shouldn't starting counting now. What
is desirable? That's the importand question. We could just as
well use a parameter-like interface. I like the accessor + 
setter approach, I find it somehow elegant and it allows the
use of the modification-forms from miscmacros. It also reduces
namespace clutter. But that's just my opinion and my personal
preference.
