ugh i just got bit by the difference between

`val X = blah()`

and 

```
val X
  get() = blah()
```

the former calls `blah()` when the object is instantiated, the latter calls `blah()` every time you access the property

I tend to avoid synthetic properties for this exact reason.

I would expect that though? although the usual preventative is ugly (that you see in swift too) of having a _ prefixed backing var…

yea it is expected, but prone to human error. thus my avoidance
