787554 - Drop the Get from WebIDL attribute getters which satisfy certain conditions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

In particular:

1)  Infallible
2)  Return type not nullable
3)  Return type not outparam.

we would typically write such things without the "Get" in C++, so we should do the same for WebIDL bindings.

Attachment: Don't prefix WebIDL getters names with a Get if they look like simple member access on the C++ side.

I still need to update the docs.
