All too often I see the following pattern in asyncio 3rd-party libs, either in their own source code or in the inusage: ``` inst = SomeClass() await inst.initialize() ```

I like the idea in principle but I don't currently use any async libraries so my opinion may not count much here. ;) -- David Foster | Seattle, WA, USA
