How do you envision this working where Name or Age must be set

I'm not sure if it's practical or covers all the bases, but it
sounds like you would need to keep track of member
initialisation during compilation, and abort if the code
attempts to use the object or one of its members as an
AssignExpression without initialising the whole thing.
Setting aside the fact that there's compiler work mentioned at
all, have I missed some nuance of this pattern? I guess
there's the situation where you conditionally may or may not
assign, or pass it around and accrete mutations, so it might be
best to only do it for some properly-annotated (how?) subset of
the whole? Not sure.
