The pattern get<Var> and set<Var> used internally by Etoys to operate on variables like x, y, heading etc.

Should this restriction be explicitly mentioned for user-written scripts or should such scripts be handled specially in Etoys? What do others feel?

Well, I think user script names should appear exactly as typed. Just like object names (which sometimes erroneously get translated).

Either we allow scripts to be named like this or not. But since currently we do, they should work as expected.
