I agree, but there is certainly no need to do the long signal-tracking
deal you described. As you say yourself that's definitely bad. Accessing
widget->active, while mildly lame, is not really very harmful in any
practical sense. The ->active member won't go away since everyone uses it.
And no one is dumb enough to write to it I don't think.

Still, you are right that a function would be "correct."
