23 <p>A role method bound with the modifier <code>get</code>
24 should have no arguments
25 (it <em>may</em> have arbitrary arguments, which are silently ignored)
26 and should have a return type to which the base field is compatible.
27 A role method returning void will ignore the given value and thus has
28 no effect at all, which will be signaled by a compiler warning.
29 <br />
30 A role method bound with the modifier <code>set</code> must have a first argument
31 that is compatible to the base field's type (additional arguments - if present -
32 are silently ignored) and must not declare a return type.
