This reminds me of how Hack/HHVM would initialize object properties from
constructor parameters; I remember finding it very appealing.
IIRC, you would provide the property signature as a constructor parameter to
trigger the initialization:
```php
class Foo
{
protected int $bar;
public function __construct(protected int $bar)
{
}
public function getBar() : int
{
return $this->bar;
}
}
$foo = new Foo(1);
echo $foo->getBar(); // 1
```
Perhaps something like that is worth adopting here.
