... or mostly right. A setter that is supposed to enforce a
restriction like "the value must be strictly positive" should be
tested to ensure that it does in fact throw the proper exception.
Similarly for setters with state dependencies like "the value can
be changed at will before the doItNowBabe() method is called, but
cannot be changed thereafter."
