Good point, that would be nice indeed. Can I use that from outside an
__init function?

Just gave it a go, and the answer to this appears to be yes,
surprisingly -- I was expecting a compile-time warning similar to what
we get when non-__init code calls into __init, but that doesn't seem to
trigger here. Anyways, I'll add the annotation in v3.

Thanks,
Quentin
