Well I ended up converting my object to a struct, which solved the issue. Your solution would probably work, but for what I'm doing, I'd rather not incur the overhead of a branch and (possible) function call for every access of the object.

It seems like object initialization outside of a method should be magically moved to the top of the constructor. But ah well.

Thank you.
