I would be interested to see what you consider to be a maintenance nightmare about the interface.
There's nothing all that onerous about the interface but the interface isn't what gets maintained; the implementation is.
In one fell swoop—and with an extremely simplistic example no less—you've almost doubled your number of methods and tripled your number of classes. Your number of lines of code has probably grown in proportion to those numbers... somewhere between one and two hundred percent. With that comes more chance for errors and a bigger haystack to find them in. On top of that, you've given yourself the choice of keeping those classes and methods in separate files or living with multiple methods with the same name (get, set, new) all in one file. All at the expense of performance and for what purpose again?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
