Both setX(int) and x() are declared inlinable and will certainly be 
inlined by the compiler. That means there is no speed difference at all. 
You can alternatively use the reference call:

rx() += something;

This will also incur no function call penalty and almost matches the 
syntax you desire. I don't really see either of them as being ugly, in 
fact both methods are very clear.

Cheers,
Ian.
