d) setting a property and getting a result
This would be most useful for setting callbacks and returning the removeHandler. Is there any other place where this would be useful? Perhaps this is a special case?
Might be. But callbacks are very important and there will be plenty of them. So it would be nice to have the same infrastructure for them as for the other attributes.
I don't think that it makes sense to treat callbacks as attributes. The underlying UI toolkits don't generally take this approach.
Gtk treats them as attributes. But I take your point. Callbacks would otherwise be the only "attributes" which return something when they are set. So I'd vote for this. Axel.
