Seems you are stuck in backward land where everything should be initialised with code, get a grip and drag your arse into the 21st century!

There is a difference between can and must.

Elaboration is a low-level implementation concept. The actual language 
flaw is that there is no way for the programmer to force operations 
compile-time, plus there is no user-defined constructors.

The language tries to work magic where there should be trivial 
programmer's work.
