I think so... one method one function. The setter should not do anything
other then set the variable, because that's what its name implies. A
getter on the other hand implies that its going to get something, from
somewhere, that has a name.
My distaste for setters doing more then one thing is born of way to many
hours hunting down bugs that were the result of setter sideeffects.
