A method can be called more than once, if not specified otherwise in
its documentation. I'm not sure it is spelled out explicitly in the
standard but that's how I understand it. There is no statement
prohibiting calling init() multiple times in the Standard so I assume
it is allowed. If this doesn't look obvious then something must be
wrong with my head.
