I guess this is the root of disagreement. There is no place in 
documentation that says that "T.init" is in any way unsafe or 
dangerous, I see it as a perfectly casual feature often used in 
any kind of generic code. Putting it in the same league as cast 
which is explicitly designed to punch holes in the type system? 
No way.
