You may fire off observer methods too, which is probably undesirable.

Lucky then, that I adopted GNUstep-style ASSIGN() and DESTROY() macros for these purposes, and since most of my code still needs to be 10.4-compatible, I've mostly been using those:

Though I vaguely remember getting lectured by someone about why it's better to *always* use the accessors a while ago ... wish I remembered what the reasoning behind that was, and why I thought it might be a good idea to follow that, but OTOH didn't follow it :-/

So why not go one step further and let macros generate the accessor for you (of course using the ASSIGN() macro inside those generated accessors)?
