use javascript's accessors

[rolandoam]

use __defineGetter__/__defineSetter__ instead of (set | get)PropertyName in all the objects.

keeping this one out for now

re-open this issue

not using defineGetter and setter, but using private properties:

var A = function (depth) {
    // private properties
    var a = "the a";
    var b = "the b";

    // public property
    this.depth = depth;

    // define accessor for a
    Object.defineProperty(this, 'a', {
        get: function () { return a; },
        set: function (newA) { a = newA; console.log("in the setter"); }
    });
};

I'm delaying this again until I gain a bigger understanding of how to properly implement this. After a quick tests, it seems that I would introduce a big penalty in performance for a not so big gain in API readability:

closing this again for now
