I am assuming init will be a property static function.

In the example above it's just a static data member.

So essentially we
would be removing .init support for classes in compiler and pushing it
out into Object.

I would rather if that is an option an init static function, that it
would be required to have override otherwise it would be too 'magical'
for me atleast.
The default can still be null.

Override only works for nonstatic methods.
