Another one was, that magic getters/setters are significantly slower 
than the real ones.

As much as I can understand Christians intentions I'd prefer not to 
introduce much more magic just to overcome PHPs weaknesses.

Hopefully there will be a proper property notation in PHP sometimes 
(http://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax). That would reduce the 
amount of code but keep it testable..

Best,
Bastian
