No, init() is only for initialising the object instance.
If you have no local instance spwecific initialisation
you can leave it to the inherited init() aor have no init()
at all.
Well I'd like to expand that a bit. There are cases where I create a
class attribute and update it each time an instance is created. O
Good point.
init() can legitimately do things other than initialising instance
variables, but conceptually those things are all part of initialising
an instance. Updating class variables is a good example of
such "other things".
