for c/c++ language usually set/get are needed for properties,
using public_read section or flag would be useful for
properties, so there are not unneded code, eg:

class Class{
  public:
  //accessed and modifiable by any
  int someProp;
  
  //this would be non-modifiable in outer usage
  public_read:
  int somePropX;

  //or
  int public_read somePropX;
  //or
  public_read int somePropX;
  //or something...
};

for compilers that would not implement this,
just "unsafe" public: would be used instead.

a.ink = White;
a.font = Arial;

a.Ink(White()).SetFont(Arial());
