Hi Rob, It is indeed entirely reasonable to have both readonly properties and hooked properties (aka accessors), and today PHP has indeed both of them (and even asymmetric visibility on top of that, as a separate feature contrarily to C#). But it doesn’t mean that it is reasonable for the *same* property to be *both* readonly and hooked, which is the point that is currently disputed. — What do the other languages allow? Is it possible to define a readonly property with a user-defined getter? (Disclaimer: Even if one of them allows such a thing, I’ll still think that it is a bad idea.) —Claude
