I have the complete opposite view: Seeing what m_data explicitly in the 
code would be simpler than reading code to see that data.value would 
mean implicit storage.

Where would the compiler make room for that variable in relation to the 
other members? With programming languages, explicit is almost always 
better than implicit.
