As mentioned on #moose yesterday, I have found an inconsistency in the
documentation (I don't think this is a bug, as the actual behaviour looks
reasonable and correct to me):
The documentation for Class::MOP::Attribute 0.98 says:
This option can be either a method name or a subroutine

I'm currently using an initializer attribute in $work code, to copy

Doh let me rephrase (of course they are different - trigger acts like an
'after' method modifier on the setter, whereas initializer acts like an
'around'). Is there anything one can do with an initializer that can't be
done with

I'm satisfied now: there is no usecase for an initializer that couldn't

Triggers fire every time you set the value, including when it has a value
already. Initializers don't.
I think that's it.

LA LA LA LET'S GET RID OF INITIALIZERS
What is it that they do that can't be done any other way?
