[...] Another option on that front is to just remove the concept of a "GettableStateVar" entirely and substitute 'IO', [...]
-1, for the simple reason that there are probably tons of code out there which might break, just to save writing a few straightforward lines. Furthermore, I like the duality of gettable and settable vars, and this would break it. Let's not discuss things to death again, this is exactly what happened a few years ago. That lead to the exclusion of StateVar from the standard libraries and the subsequent assimilation into OpenGL, the exact thing we're trying to revert.
