FWIW, a somewhat indirect method of guaranteed initialisation
can can use a constructor function that

- takes an access to a limited object
- returns one component of the object

type T is limited record
  data : Integer := Constructor(T'access);
  -- ...
end record;

If everything that Constructor needs is in scope, this should do
the trick.
