title: Symfony, getters and setters vs magic methods
body: <p>I don't like having "stupid" getters and setters for every property on my entity classes so I am thinking on using magic methods to get/set those properties instead of creating every single getter and setter. The idea is to create an specific getter or setter when its logic is diffefent from the typical "return $name" or "$this->name=$name". Moreover this magic method would be created on a different class and every entity would extend it (I have not thought very much about this step)</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, what do you think about replacing getters/setters with magic methods?? Would it penalize too much the performance? Any other problems that I am not taking into account?</p>
