Again, I have not heard of a single developer complain about this in any
of the Delphi groups or forums. So I guess the "annoyance" level is > 1%

I guess most "getters" do just the basic, return some field variable
without data-changing effects - unlike the idiotic example of fetching a
value from a database in a getter. There are MUCH better designs than
that example given. [sorry to be harsh towards DaWorm, but that was a
damn stupid example]
