Once I actually *tried* it (instead of just blabbing ;), I realized this
"solution" has a major problem with captitalization, but I was thinking
about an abbreviation like this:

   public void set$2($1 x) {
     $2 = x;
   }
   public $1 get$2() {
     return $2;
   }

so if you bind it to "gs", you can type something like:

   gs#int#State#

Which, when expanded, produces:

   public void setState(int x) {
     State = x;
   }
   public int getState() {
     return State;
   }

Now, if you didn't mind field names being capitalized, this would be OK,
but it's probably not acceptable style.

I think a very interesting feature request would be for abbreviations to
be able to have a BeanShell lambda that produces the replacement text,
like search and replace.
