There's no reason to break backwards compatibility. One could have all
three flavours of accessors:
- $dt->set_xxxx(<new value>) - modifies $dt and returns $dt
- $dt->with_xxxx(<new value>) - returns modified copy of $dt
- $dt->xxxx([<new value>]) - modifies $dt (if new value is present)
and returns old value
