A few seconds after posting this I realized this wouldn't really be an acceptable solution given that you need an l-value to assign to ><

I guess it would still be possible that way, just difficult. Probably not worth it.

I'm going to have to side with the people saying use get/set methods. It's a pretty standard form anyway.

Sorry about the noise :)
