I might be missing something, but is there any way to bail out of an

init{}

block early, similar to how you'd

return

out of a method that returns

Unit

? My guess is no, because you can't do that in a Java constructor.

return

and

return@init

didn't work. Just curious if there is a way. Would be useful, for example, to be able to guard against a constructor param being

null

and leave the init block
