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.

My votes (for object.foo([new value])) are only for Perl. Really, I prefer whatever the language usually uses.

Although what I really prefer is object.foo and object.foo = new value, but we'll have to wait for Perl 6 to really do that properly.

I'll second the really.

lvalues are weird.

I want the ability to have the interface of an object be a set of fields, and then the ability to change my mind on the implementation.

Thirded. Of course, I get to do it in Ruby right now :-P
