TDPL 8.4 discusses a raw/cooked model of construction. The same 
principle should apply to const/immutable member construction: you get 
to cook the field, but you can't taste it while raw.

The presence of an initializer with the immutable/const member 
declaration serves as a default in case the member is not explicitly 
initialized.
