Maybe the best solution is to design a user interface that's consistent but not uniform, in the first place, so then you don't have to change it! :-) -Max Hey, it’s true that people don’t accept change easily.

Nature has given us all chances to be creative by exploring diverse patterns in environment, but - we never follow it. Specially the inception of Technology has put the world to an uniformal and monotonus stance. So becoming a part of novel approach towards old version is something about keeping the 'consistanccy' yet not following 'uniformity'.

How can I tell the difference between a property that takes an argument to return something slightly different, and setting the value of a property? This isn't an issue in smaller apps, because you don't have properties that take arguments to return something different. But in, say, Bugzilla, we definitely have or want those, so I wouldn't want all of those to look the same and be really confusing to casual code readers. -Max You know, actually it wasn’t intended to be, originally, but thinking about it some, those types of properties actually really can be confusing.

Function calls that look like value accesses? Heh, is that a stab at getter-setter-style properties? Function calls that look like value accesses?
