It means it is subject to renaming (therefore mistakes) when the class
name needs to be changed. Also, consider how lengthy it is to access a
getter or setter:
```js
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(Foo.prototype,
'someSetter').set.call(this, value)
```
vs
```js
current.someSetter = value
```
Having such a keyword for convenience may also encourage class designers to
avoid the [Fragile Base Class Problem](
