JAV2I13 — Boolean attributes

Thought I would raise this as a formal issue.

The spec is ambiguous about mapping boolean accessors when in the following cases

boolean isFoo ();
void setFoo(boolean x);

and

boolean getBar();
boolean isBar();
void setBar(boolean x);

According to the spec, both of the above get mapped to attributes. But, an attribute has only one getter and one setter.
So, the question is what is isBar represented as on the wire? And how is the distinction made between isBar and getBar?

Two ideas I can think of are
1. Drop isBar from being recognized as a getter for attribute bar.
2. Have isBar be represented on the wire as _get_bar. This has the effect of the two methods collapsing into
one on the receiving context, which is probably OK because they should semantically be equivalent anyway.
