I beg your pardon but the <type>-set-<element>! convention was
introduced with Jim's proposal.  We're talking about an interface
which has been specified last year and which -- if I remember
correctly -- everyone agreed upon.

We are not talking about old code, which can (and should) stay as it is.
We're talking about new code and how newly introduced names should
look like; that was Michael's question.
