Nope, what would be needed would be a Location object.  Then one
could literally ask a `Member' for a location.

Hypothetically, I'd be inclined to make a change to a completely new
name like getMemberStatus.  In a `design' sense, removing setLoc would
just be a question of how many theoretical sorts of collection index
types couldn't support getOffset.
