The obvious task is to initial the state of the class before usage as I
wrote inside my introduction of the RFC.

I think there is no "random" behavior (not more then other so called
"magic" methods). But I see that I forgot this point in the discussion
part because we already had this point on the prediscussion. Will add
this tomorrow, with my exact answer to this point,

Thanks for reminder.
