Okay, then. But I'm asking myself - and you pointed me in that
direction - if those objects (and I mean all objects passed to
setters and returned by getters) should be cloned regardless of
any special usage inside the methods, just because DDD tells us
that we need to use e.g. a setter to explicitly add new objects,
rather than using an already returned object.

And another problem I see is, that if I'm going to use extensions
from TER, I'd like to rely on a specific behaviour/consistency when
using the models getters and setters.

It would be a pain in the a* if I'd need to research how to use
getters/setters for every model in every other extension, no?
