I rather meant what is the assessment of the community about possible 
optimizations applied by the JVM to both approaches?  My personal 
opinion at this point is that the "properties" approach might be more 
efficient since getter methods can be inlined (there is just one class 
so there are not multiple variants for e.isOpen() as opposed to having 
different classes).
