actually, since we're on the subject of accessors and attributes, etc..

why not just use Qt's built in property stuff. it lets you define the 
protection of attributes (i think) and automatically creates accessors and 
mutators for you... it also registers those properties with that object's 
meta-data class (an added bonus).

i'm not really sure how it works, if all the property members are created 
private however.

i know it has some drawbacks however - i don't think you can actually 
specifiy the function signature or the implementation for more complicated 
accessors or mutators (i could be wrong).
