[C++] Properties in Classes

 In Java, people write getter and setter for lots of their class attributes. Often enough, that there is a Getter and Setter annotation available, that makes the code much less verbose. (Still the question: why not making it public than...). Pythons properties in that case are much nicer, as you still simply access and use the variable, but it can do some functionality in the background. With the expanse, that you don't directly see, if any, probably heavy, side-effects would be triggered.
