Although I don't mind the method call to be honest, this is the one point I kinda agree with, the one thing that can be a bit annoying is having to 'think' about initialization, which is something I want to do and then forget about, having to test all the permutations of initialized values, and having to think about the effects of rendering, is a bit kludgy.

I think it's too kludgy to be forced to write a setupRender() and a test against null/0/false just to initialize a member. There must be a simpler way... Perhaps a field-level annotation?
