set and clear is used for bit flags. Values don't use "set".

set_changed() sets the "changed" bit
  but
color(0) sets the color value

It can be hard for non-native speakers to figure some calls out, for  
exmaple:

maximize() vs. maximized() (setter and getter), but set_maximized()  
also seems awkward to me

I am glad we have not hit irregular verbs yet ;-)

bend() vs. bent(), for example (setter and getter, again)

I can't offer a solution, unfortunatly, but I likel to read code in a  
somewhat meaningful English sentence.

if (window->maximized()) then ... .
if (window->is_maximized()) then ... .

seem both OK, or should it be window->is_maximum_size()... :-/ - I  
really don't know. Whihever it is though, it should be mostly  
consistent.
