Accessors vs Properties

[Tobias Knopp <tobias knoppweb de>]

Hi,

I am working on Gtk language bindings for the Julia programming language 
(https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Gtk.jl <https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Gtk.jl>) and have a question 
regarding the accessor methods (methods with „get“ and „set“ in them) and the property system.

- Is any accessor backuped with a property and vice versa?
- Which one is to prefer?

I tried to find documentation on this but have not found anything.

Thanks,

Tobias
