No. You're not indicating it twice. The first time you're saying you
want a mutable variable, which is *not* the same as saying you want it
to be settable by the client, the second time you're saying you want
it to be settable.

In my opinion hidden should be default. If you really want something
to have a getter *and* a setter you should have to say so rather
explicitly.
