Last i checked, we were distinguishing between getters and setters in the 
Fit tables, but putting "()" after the names of setters. I haven't really 
liked this -- it makes it look too much like code -- but haven't had a 
better idea. Until now. Maybe.

Here's the idea. What if we established a convention that the setters were 
on the left of a table and the getters were on the right. To the tester: 
inputs on the left and outputs on the right. And then we put a double line 
between them? It could be bold line or something... the point would be try 
to distinguish between them graphically rather than by using punctuation. 
Could this work?

P.S. I haven't kept up with recent discussions: my apologies if this topic 
has already been discussed. I am picking up from the conversation in New 
Orleans.
