DO NOT DO THIS.
-init... is a one-time operation in Cocoa. The call is privileged to make

state

-init...
calls will in turn assume they can make destructive initializations, and the

soon,

Fair point, and well noted. I think it's a shame that objects would be
so cavalier about their existing state (isn't that just sloppy? Makes it
far too easy to leak memory) but there *is* some logic to the whole
-initXXX thing being destructive and if that's the way it's done... so
be it. Glad I learned this now rather than *after* a problem...
