Sorry for being slow.  Having setters on smobs is a good idea since
they can be used as getters already.  However, making vectors and
strings and maybe all kinds of stuff into getters and setters is
certainly appealing, but I'm not sure whether it is a good idea in
general.

I think `apply-setter' should be provided in addition to `setter'.


I'll get to your patch in detail later.  (Unless someone beats me to
