**timothee** , your solution (and the alternative ways mentioned in the PR discussion) could be a solution. But the situation is more delicate here. These fields _were_ public, they passed to private in the patch I've mentioned. And the operators (deprecated!) were introduced to overcome the potential access problems. So, probably, there is some logic, but I don't understand it. That's why I asked this question.
