Whilst I would not mind the `with` pattern, it’s worth noting that Swift
already has some very fine alternatives:
let questionLabel: UILabel = {
let $ = UILabel()
$.textAlignment = .Center
$.font = UIFont(name:"DnealianManuscript", size: 72)
$.text = "?"
$.numberOfLines = 0
return $
}()
Including some lazy options:
private(set) lazy var questionLabel: UILabel = { ... }()
static let questionLabel: UILabel = { ... }()
