I think that if the INITIALIZE-INSTANCE (or whatever is
ultimately agreed to be the name) user customizable method could be
designated the right place to put special initialization needs,
like the requirement for initialization to proceed in a particular
order, then the need for specifying the order within the class
itself goes away. However, it is important that the spec
specifically state that the user cannot depend on the order of
initialization for :INITFORMs, otherwise, someone is bound to do so.
RIGHT (Meaning I agree)
