Is there a way to initialize a delegated property in the same line?
For instance:
```fun main() {
    val test by MyCustomDelegate() = 5 //doesn't work
    test = 5 //This is the current workaround
}```
I don't want to change the implementation of MyCustomDelegate per se, I just want to call its setter in line.
Is that currently possible?

your example doesn't work because `val` can't be assigned :sweat_smile:

but is this not something you can handle when initializing the delegate itself? e.g. with the standard read-write delegates such as
```Delegates.observable(initialValue) { ... }```

Whoops, yeah I intended for it to be a var, and my use case is as such :face_palm:

I can handle it upon initialization, sure, but that requires changing how the class is defined.

In my case, I'm using a class that wasn't intended to be a delegate as a delegate using extension `getValue` and `setValue`
I guess I can handle this in `provideDelegate`, but I was wondering if there's a neater way
