Returning void instead of int in the example break assignment chaining a = b = c. Besides, how such implicitly defined functions may call user defined code (check input validity, call events, etc.)?

It should not if evaluating the value of (b = c) will call getter for b.

Why getter and not setter? Expression a = b = c = d should call getter for d and setter for rest of them. And if c setter returns void the chain breaks.

"a = b" calls setter
"(a = b)" calls setter first, getter second
"x = b = c" is same as "x = (b = c)" thus calls setter, then getter and then setter again

I don't know how it is done know, but that is quite logical C-like approach based on the fact that result of expression (a = b) is equal to a.
