Hey you coders

[prog]

These questions aren't language-specific; consider the questions as pseudocode. Pretend that the underscores are actually studlyCaps if you'd like.

Also, don't worry about return values of the mutators, which is a separate question.

I've grown accustomed to Common Lisp's (foo object) and (setf (foo object) new-foo-value), which I've also started to use in Scheme dialects that have extensible set! (like Swindle). But since Scheme is a Lisp₁ instead of a Lisp₂, it does sometimes get in the way when you want to have a variable with the same name as an accessor function. I haven't decided yet if this matters enough.

I should mention that (setf (foo object) new-foo-value) is pretty much equivalent to the object.foo = new_foo_value that brentdax likes.
