Do you not understand how get/set was intended to be used? or are you just being sarcastic?

The purpose of the get/set bits of a field is used for playing around with the value thats coming in or doing something else along with setting or getting the value.

example:

Type myType

	Field otherfield:Float
		
		Method dostuff(fab:String, par:String)
			Print fab + " is being " + par
			'... do some other stuff
		End Method
		
		Method name:String(value:String = Null)
		  Global getval:String
			
			'set
			If value
				otherfield = 0.0002
				dostuff("name", "set!")
				getval = value + otherfield
			   Return Null
			EndIf
			
			'get
			dostuff("name", "requested!")
			otherfield = RndFloat()
		   Return getval
		End Method
		
End Type

Local mt:myType = New myType
	mt.name "test"
	Print mt.name()
