If we change all the classes to use getFoo/setFoo instead of
foo/setFoo. Then it would be fairly easy to create a function that
created the properties automatically (based on these naming
conventions), and we wouldn't have to add
foo = property(foo, setFoo) lines all over the place.
Then, while old servlets still won't work, it would be relatively easy
to change all ".foo(" occurances to ".getFoo(", and I think that would
probably be a fairly robust translation (as long as we keep track of all
names that have to be changed).
For plain attributes we'd have to leave the little dummy methods
around. But that's not a big deal. We could add some notation to the
doc string of these dummy functions so that the automatic property adder
doesn't mess with them.
