I decided to make this formal. You can backtrack through the mailing list from here:

Hi,
i wont claim to set up a paradigm but in my eyes that should look like:

class test {
public:
     test();
     ~test();
     // get...
     const double& getSize() const;
     // set... (for "big" structures or whenever copying takes to long)
     void setSize(const double& newValue);
     // maybe better for standard types
     void setSize(const double newValue);
protected:
     double m_Size;
};

setters should be void because modern error handling should be done with 
exceptions (that`s what i think!). To improve things further we should 
create a template for get/setters so anybody can choose his favorite style.

I like this one ;)

public:
	void setMemberName(const type &memberName)
	type memberName() const
private:
	type m_memberName;
